European Energy has connected its 148-megawatt Glejbjerg Solar Park to the Danish electricity grid after completing final technical checks, the company said.
The project adds a utility-scale asset to European Energy’s Northern Europe portfolio and is supported by a long-term power purchase agreement, providing stable revenue for ongoing operations.
The solar park comprises 238,368 photovoltaic modules installed on a fixed-tilt system and 572 inverters. Annual electricity production is expected to reach about 133 gigawatt-hours, equivalent to the power consumption of approximately 33,000 Danish households, according to the company.
“Bringing Glejbjerg Solar Park online ahead of schedule demonstrates a consistent construction process and provides a strong foundation for the asset’s operational performance in the years ahead,” said Poul Jacobsen, executive vice president and head of engineering, procurement and construction at European Energy.
Construction of the project took around one year and was delivered as planned. European Energy said several community-focused features have been integrated into the surrounding area, including a shelter and recreational spaces.
Electricity from the Glejbjerg facility is delivered through a power purchase agreement. The solar park is connected at the same grid point as the nearby Holsted Solar Park, which is already in operation, the company added.
