The Callio project, piloted by Sustainable Energy Solutions Sweden Holding AB (SENS), takes on a new dimension with the addition of Dovre Group Plc to the consortium. Located in Pyhäjärvi, Finland, this project includes an 85 MW BESS. This strategic collaboration aims to capitalize on the synergies between the two companies to boost the Finnish energy market. Dovre Group Plc, world-renowned for its project management services, acquires part of the special-purpose company dedicated to BESS. This strategic investment is designed to optimize the development and efficiency of the Callio project’s energy infrastructure.

Business Analysis and Outlook

The integration of Dovre Group Plc brings crucial financing and complex project management expertise, strengthening the economic viability of the Callio project. This strategic alliance is seen as a validation of SENS’ technical and commercial capabilities, increasing the attractiveness of the project for potential investors. Ilari Koskelo, Vice President of Dovre, says this strategic collaboration concentrates renewable energy development opportunities in the Pyhäjärvi region, providing a robust platform for future growth. Henrik Boman, CEO of SENS, welcomes this synergy, noting that Dovre’s confidence strengthens SENS’ position in the Finnish market.

Impact on the energy market

Dovre Group Plc’s participation secures the funds needed to maintain and develop the underground hydropower projects until the final investment decision later this year. This strategic cooperation between SENS and Dovre should stimulate innovation and improve the efficiency of energy projects in the region. Dovre’s involvement in the Callio project is also a strong signal to other players in the market, indicating an opportunity for growth and expansion in Finland’s renewable energy sector. This alliance should attract more investment and strengthen the region’s competitiveness in the global energy market.
The partnership between SENS and Dovre Group Plc in the Callio project represents a major step forward for both companies. By combining their resources and expertise, they are well placed to capture significant market share in Finland’s energy sector. This strategic collaboration promises to generate substantial economic benefits and strengthen the leading position of SENS and Dovre in the Finnish energy market.
