Battery systems that can store electricity from solar and wind energy are gaining ground. But despite the progress, there is still a lot of experience to be gained by large energy companies. More experience is only created through action, and now European Energy is trading on the battery storage front on the Danish market for the first time. The company states this in a press release.
Thus, the company is starting its first battery storage project in Denmark. This is done in collaboration with Kragerup Gods. European Energy itself describes the Kragerup project as "important", as it allows the company to handle the increasing amounts of renewable energy produced in Denmark.
- Battery storage is a key component in the development of future energy projects. This collaboration with Kragerup Gods will give us practical experience with battery storage and promote the development of integrated energy systems, not only in Denmark, but also in other markets where we operate, says Mads Lykke Andersen, CTO of European Energy.
The battery will start test operation during the first quarter of 2025 and will start with a capacity of 3.75 MW. There will be an option to upgrade the battery to a capacity of 7.5 MW. When fully charged, it will be able to supply electricity to a significant number of European households for up to eight hours. In addition, the battery will provide important system services to help balance the electricity grid in eastern Denmark.
- We are excited to work with European Energy on renewable energy solutions like this. At Kragerup Gods, we are committed to sustainability, and this project demonstrates our dedication to integrating the latest renewable energy technologies, says Regitze Dinesen, owner of Kragerup Gods.
