With the goal of producing at least 200 GWh of green electricity annually by 2025, equivalent to the energy consumption of between 40-50,000 households, Danish Agro and the energy group Aura are now establishing a joint company. This includes the production of electricity from solar and wind, Aura states in a press release.
The electricity produced will help ensure that the Danish Agro group's supply of electricity in Denmark will in the long term come exclusively from renewable energy sources.
The new collaboration on the joint company has been approved by both Danish Agro's board of directors and AURA's board of representatives and will come into effect immediately.
- Danish Agro has an ambition that the group will in the long term be supplied exclusively with renewable energy sources. At the same time, there is a large commercial potential for Danish farmers within, for example, biogas and solar energy. We want to help develop this, and I am sure that together with Aura we can establish exciting projects that will contribute to the green transition, says Henning Haahr, CEO of Danish Agro.
One of the tasks of the new company will be to identify and develop energy projects. Danish Agro and Aura already have an existing collaboration on establishing a biogas plant in East Jutland via the company Bioenergi Østjylland A/S. This project will now also be included in the new company.
- I am sure that in collaboration with Danish Agro we can create strong results that will further accelerate the green transition. We bring great insight into the energy sector and the opportunities that lie there, and in combination with Danish Agro's great insight into the agricultural industry, we will stand strong together, says Carsten Höegh Christiansen, CEO of the Aura Group.
