Collaboration with Kragerup Estate marks developer’s foray into battery technology European Energy has started development of its first battery energy storage system (BESS) project, in Denmark. The Kragerup project is being delivered in collaboration with Kragerup Estate. “Battery storage is a key component in the development of future energy projects. This collaboration with Kragerup Estate will provide us with hands-on experience in battery storage and further the development of integrated energy systems, not only in Denmark but also in other markets where we operate,” said Mads Lykke Andersen, director and head of technology development at European Energy. The battery will start test operations during Q1 2025 and will initially have a capacity of 3.75MW, with the option to upgrade to a 7.5MW capacity. When fully charged, it will be able to provide electricity for up to eight hours. In addition, the battery will offer system services to help balance the power grid in eastern Denmark. It will store surplus renewable energy during periods of high production and supply it back to the grid when demand is high, improving overall energy efficiency. “We are thrilled to be working with European Energy on renewable energy solutions like this. “At Kragerup Estate, we are committed to sustainability, and this project demonstrates our dedication to integrating the latest renewable energy technologies,” said Regitze Dinesen, owner of Kragerup Estate. Kragerup Estate, a family-owned estate, has long pursued a green agenda with a focus on environmental protection. Today, that vision is realized through Kragerup Energy Park, which includes wind energy, its own water extraction system, self-sufficient heat production via a straw-fired furnace and plans for green hydrogen production as well as a large solar panel installation. |
