Production has commenced at the 65-megawatt Ingerslev Å solar farm in Jutland, Denmark, marking the first project delivered by BeGreen since the company was acquired by Norwegian energy firm Equinor in 2023.
The facility, operated by BeGreen—a wholly owned Equinor subsidiary—features over 100,000 solar panels and six transformer stations. Annual electricity generation is expected to reach 68 gigawatt hours (GWh), with power sold on merchant terms in Denmark’s DK1 electricity market through Danske Commodities.
“This is another step in our ambition to establish a profitable onshore renewables business in select markets across Europe and the Americas,” said Anders Bade, senior vice president for onshore and markets within renewables at Equinor. “Ingerslev Å demonstrates how our local companies’ expertise and synergy with Danske Commodities can create value.”
The solar farm was completed in less than a year, highlighting the potential for rapid deployment of onshore renewable projects. Its launch brings operational assets online for all four of Equinor’s onshore renewables and storage subsidiaries.
Equinor stated that it now has approximately 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of onshore renewable energy capacity either in operation or under construction across its portfolio.
