This site sits next to Neoen's existing battery storage assets near Lappeenranta, chosen for its proximity to a regional substation. The city has begun a master plan process at the developer's request, with a construction moratorium in place for the duration. Environmental studies and land-use agreements are underway in 2025, followed by zoning through 2026, technical design, and permitting. Construction is targeted to begin in 2027–2028, assuming no appeals delay the process.
