European Energy reaches 2.1GW in Denmark.
European Energy has achieved 2100MW of solar, wind, and battery capacity linked to the grid in Denmark, following the launch of the Glejbjerg solar park and a battery system at Kvosted energy park.
The company indicated that this portfolio accounts for over 20% of Denmark's onshore renewable capacity and encompasses more than 40 projects initiated between 2013 and 2025.
Currently, European Energy oversees 2GW of this capacity, and planned battery enhancements from 2026 are expected to improve flexibility and further optimize existing assets, according to the developer.
Maja Rasmussen, country manager for Denmark at European Energy, stated, “We have a strong development portfolio across Denmark, supported by solid local partnerships. However, these projects will only contribute to the green transition if they are constructed and put into operation.
“With this milestone, we prove our capability to deliver.
“We are eager to continue our support for local and national climate and energy goals.”
In 2026, the company will concentrate on integrating battery systems into active assets to store electricity during times of low solar and wind generation.
European Energy emphasized that this work is part of its strategy to adjust projects according to system needs and market conditions as renewable capacity expands.
Poul Jacobsen, EVP and head of EPC at European Energy, remarked, “Transitioning assets from development to stable operation entails strong coordination across engineering, construction, and asset management.”
“Our experience in Denmark illustrates how assets can continuously improve after commissioning, including through battery integration and other technical enhancements.
“This ongoing optimization is essential for both long-term operations and the economic efficiency of the portfolio.”
The company further noted that its development in Denmark includes over 40 projects that have been developed, constructed, and operated since 2013.
