MT Højgaard Danmark has secured the task of constructing the buildings for the upcoming 400 kV substation AC Lindehøj at Solhøj in Høje-Taastrup Municipality. The substation will be an important piece in the expansion of the electricity grid on Zealand and Lolland-Falster (DK2).
- We are incredibly pleased to be collaborating with MT Højgaard Danmark on the construction of the substation buildings for the new 400 kV substation AC Lindehøj. Their experience in large infrastructure projects makes them the ideal partner for us in this important project, says Kim Søgaard Mikkelsen, Project Director at Energinet, in a press release.
The agreement includes a turnkey contract worth DKK 241 million and covers both buildings for the high-voltage equipment, terrain work on 71 hectares and the establishment of the construction site. The tender was published in December 2024 with three prequalified bidders, including MT Højgaard Danmark.
- The energy area is very interesting for us, and we have good experience with the interaction with Energinet, so we have made a determined effort to win the works. The Lindehøj project has a high technical complexity, and specifically it will require close coordination and detailed examination with the technical supplier Hitachi. We look forward to that, says Hasse Stouby Jensen, project director at MT Højgaard Danmark.
The construction of AC Lindehøj will contribute to ensuring the transport of green electricity from offshore wind turbines in the Baltic Sea to the consumption-heavy areas around Copenhagen and North Zealand. In addition, a converter station is planned that will make it possible to connect power from Energiø Bornholm, if the project is implemented.
Construction work is expected to begin in early 2026, once the environmental permit has been granted and the ongoing archaeological excavations have been completed. The buildings are expected to be completed in spring 2027, after which Hitachi Energy can begin the electrical installation of the station.
