Northern Europe’s largest solar and battery park now live with 200 MWh

Denmark has inaugurated Northern Europe’s largest combined solar and battery park, the Kvosted facility in Viborg Municipality, featuring a 200 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery storage capacity integrated into an existing solar park operational since 2022. Developed by European Energy, the project enables the storage of excess solar electricity during peak production and its release during low or no solar generation periods. This system supports grid stability amid Denmark’s increasing reliance on renewable energy, where solar power can already meet over 60% of the country’s electricity demand on sunny days. The battery capacity is sufficient to cover the average daily electricity consumption of approximately 18,000 households, helping to smooth production fluctuations and reduce grid stress during peak demand. European Energy completed the project’s construction and integration within seven months and is now commissioning the park to prepare it for full operation. The company views battery storage as a critical component of its future renewable energy projects, aiming to install over 1 gigawatt (GW) of
