European Energy has connected the 71MW solar park Rodby Fjord to the grid in Denmark.
Construction on Rødby Fjord was initiated in May 2021 and is located on the Danish island of Lolland.
European Energy chief executive Knud Erik Andersen said: “We are going to see a year with a lot of activity in our home market of Denmark.
“We have several projects that will be connected to the grid in the first half of 2022 and Rødby Fjord is a fine start for our company here at the beginning of the year.”
European Energy has more than 9GW of green energy capacity under development in Denmark, including more than 8GW are solar parks.
It is estimated that 25% of Denmark’s total electricity consumption can be covered by solar energy just utilizing the space of 0.5% of Denmark’s total agricultural land area.
The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) estimates that Denmark by 2040 will have 13GW of solar energy capacity, while using 35.1TWh of electricity for traditional electricity usage.
