The Kragerup project is essential for European Energy, enabling the company to manage increasing volumes of renewable energy generated in Denmark. With the installation of a state-of-the-art battery, European Energy is positioned to enhance the stability and resilience of the electricity grid.
Further development of integrated energy storage systems
“Battery storage is a key component in the development of future energy projects. This collaboration with Kragerup Estate will provide us with hands-on experience in battery storage and further the development of integrated energy systems, not only in Denmark but also in other markets where we operate,” said Mads Lykke Andersen, Director and Head of Technology Development at European Energy.

The battery will start test operations during Q1 2025 and will initially have a capacity of 3.75 MW, with the option to upgrade to a 7.5 MW capacity. When fully charged, it will be able to provide electricity to a significant number of households for up to eight hours. In addition, the battery will offer crucial system services to help balance the power grid in eastern Denmark. It will store surplus renewable energy during periods of high production and supply it back to the grid when demand is high, improving overall energy efficiency. (hcn)
