European Energy has connected its 51MW Holmen Solpark 2 solar farm to the grid in Denmark.
The last stage of the combined energy park Holmen in is now connected to the grid.
The project is located in the Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality in the Western part of Jutland and will in future produce green power for the surrounding electricity grid corresponding to approximately 13,000 households’ annual consumption.
European Energy has been responsible for the delivery of the last 3 stages of the energy park which it is developing in collaboration with Copenhagen Energy.
The entire Holmen Energy Park covers two solar parks with a total energy capacity of 71MW and two wind farms with a total energy capacity of 39.6MW.
European Energy said it has put a sum of several million DKK into the green fund in Ringkøbing Skjern municipality because of the projects.
It has also entered into voluntary agreements with local civic associations, which will receive an amount of support each year during the operation of the parks.
The project is part of the 1,000 hectares of solar, for which the city council in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality has already drawn up a local plan.
European Energy project developer Ian Wallentin said: “Since 2017, we have been working on developing an energy park at Holmen in Ringkøbing-Skjern municipality, and we are very happy to have connected the last part of the energy park to the grid.”
Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality technical and environmental committee chairman Ole Knudsen said: “It is gratifying that this facility can already deliver green power in 2022.”
