Power System of the Åland Islands
Bioenergy adds 2 MW, producing 3 GWh/year (1%). The region has a diesel backup with 30 MW gas turbines and 10 MW dieselgenerators for emergencies. Lacking hydro or pumped storage due to flat terrain, Åland imports 145 GWh/year and exports 40 GWh/year.

The ÅL-link is grid enabled, i.e. prepared for a multi-terminal configuration, which allows for additional in-feed from stations, such as future wind power plants. Hitachi Energy delivered two converter stations, one situated in Ytterby, Åland and the other in Nådendal, Finland, and two 80 kV submarine cables, each 158 km long.
