Denmark takes a crucial step in renewable energy with European Energy’s first battery storage project in collaboration with Kragerup Estate.
Located in a solar park, this project represents a significant development for European Energy as it marks their first venture into large-scale battery storage in the country. The primary goal is to gain operational experience, which will aid in implementing similar solutions in other European markets.
The Kragerup project is pivotal for managing Denmark’s growing renewable energy output. By installing a battery, European Energy seeks to enhance the stability and resilience of the electricity grid. This development positions the company to more effectively handle fluctuating energy supplies and demand.
The partnership with Kragerup Estate will provide European Energy with practical experience in battery storage. Set to begin test operations in Q1 2025, the battery will have an initial capacity of 3.75 MW with potential expansion up to 7.5 MW. When fully charged, it can supply electricity to numerous households for up to eight hours. Additionally, it will offer vital system services to balance the power grid in eastern Denmark, storing excess renewable energy during peak production times and redistributing it when demand rises, thereby improving energy efficiency overall.
