European Energy, in collaboration with Kragerup Estate, has initiated its first large-scale battery storage project in Denmark. The battery, expected to begin test operations in Q1 2025, will support the integration of renewable energy into the power grid.
The project will start with an initial capacity of 3.75 MW, with an option to upgrade to 7.5 MW. When fully charged, it can supply electricity to numerous European households for up to eight hours and provide essential system services to stabilize the power grid in eastern Denmark.
European Energy, a Denmark-based renewable energy company, has developed approximately 2 GW of wind and solar farms globally, driving the green energy transition.
