European Energy will take over operations of the 207-MW Gedmose solar park in Denmark from 1 January 2026, the company said on Tuesday.
The Holstebro-area site, connected in 2021, was Northern Europe’s largest solar park at the time and produces enough electricity to power more than 50,000 households. “European Energy said the Holstebro-area site, connected in 2021, was Northern Europe’s largest solar park at the time and generates enough electricity to supply more than 50,000 households,” the company noted.
The move represents the first time European Energy will operate a solar park it did not develop or own. The firm said the agreement expands its operational services portfolio, which currently covers 4 GW of renewable assets under management.
Jacob Saust Johansen, EVP for asset management and operations, said the decision aligns with the company’s strategy to offer operational services to external owners. “A key part of our strategic shift in asset management has been to offer our services to third-party owners – not only to the parks we develop ourselves,” he said. He added: “In recent years, we have also developed new technological solutions that enable us to optimise electricity production at a lower cost,” and noted that the company aims for asset management to become a “significant revenue driver”.
European Energy said it aims to serve as “a stable and efficient partner” for the Gedmose facility.
Heartland, owner of the solar park, said the site’s output is covered by a power purchase agreement with BESTSELLER, Normal, Nemlig.com and Faerch. Kasper Reggelsen, head of communications at Heartland, said: “Gedmose solar park was established as part of our ambition to invest responsibly and with a long-term perspective in the green transition.” He added that the company is “pleased to gain a skilled partner to handle the day-to-day operations and ensure that the park continues to contribute efficiently to Denmark’s energy supply.”
European Energy said it has strengthened its technical and digital capabilities to optimise performance and reduce downtime, and plans to expand its asset-management activities in Denmark and internationally.
