Equinor's first solar plant in Denmark, the 65 MW Ingerslev Å, has started production, managed by Equinor's subsidiary BeGreen.

 

“This is another step in our ambition to establish a profitable onshore renewables business in select markets across Europe and the Americas. Currently, we have around 1.2 GW of onshore capacity in production and under construction ,” says Anders Bade, senior vice president for onshore and markets within Renewables at Equinor.

 

Ingerslev Å marks an important milestone as BeGreen’s first project to reach production since Equinor acquired the company in 2023. With the launch of Ingerslev Å, all four Equinor subsidiaries that specialise in onshore renewables and battery storage now have assets in operation.

 

“Our ownership of local companies provides a strong foundation for value creation by leveraging their on-the-ground expertise and maximising synergies with our trading house, Danske Commodities,” says Bade.

 

Danske Commodities will sell the power generated from Ingerslev Å on merchant terms in the DK1 power market in western Denmark. The annual production is estimated at 68 GWh.

 

The construction of Ingerslev Å was completed in under a year, showcasing the rapid project cycles typical of onshore renewables. The facility features over 100,000 solar panels and six transformer stations installed on site. -TradeArabia News Service
