“We are very pleased to welcome Ibrahim Baylan to Ingrid Capacity’s Board. His understanding of the energy issue and the energy transition our society is facing will contribute to the company’s continued growth journey. The use of fossil-free energy will double by 2045, mainly driven by the industry and the transport sector as well as increased household electricity consumption. This means that politics and business must use each other’s strengths to quickly and predictably establish a modern and sustainable energy infrastructure. Ingrid Capacity will be an active part of that effort. With Baylan’s background and knowledge, we are in an even stronger position to develop our business and societal benefits”, says Niklas Möller, Chairman of Ingrid Capacity.
“Energy storage is central to building the modern energy infrastructure required by an increasing need for fossil-free energy. Electrification is also a key measure to achieve the climate goals. With its 500 planned megawatts, Ingrid Capacity is positioned to be a strong force in the climate transition as energy storage on this scale enables the transition to more fossil-free energy. The power need is here and now. The green transition opens entirely new opportunities for new jobs and sustainable economic growth. Properly managed, energy storage can strengthen Sweden’s competitiveness and attractiveness as an industrial nation. That is why it feels important and exciting to join the Ingrid Capacity team”, says Ibrahim Baylan, Board member and advisor on energy issues.
