European Energy Powers Up Northern Europe’s Largest 200 MWh Solar-Plus-Battery Park At Kvosted After Seven-Month Build

European Energy has completed construction and successfully energised the Kvosted solar and battery park, now recognised as the largest combined solar and battery facility in Northern Europe. The site has a total storage capacity of 200 MWh, allowing a significant amount of solar power to be stored and used when generation is low. The battery system has been built directly within the existing Kvosted solar park in Viborg Municipality.

The solar park has been operational since 2022, and the newly installed battery modules are integrated into the same area. This setup ensures that electricity produced locally can be stored during periods of high solar output and supplied back to the grid during evenings, cloudy days, or when solar production stops completely.

European Energy EPC handled the full scope of work, including installation, electrical integration with both the solar park and the grid, and construction of supporting infrastructure for the battery system. Through strong cooperation with project partners and local authorities, the company completed the entire project in just seven months, following an optimised and efficient timeline. Now that the plant has been energised, it will undergo a commissioning phase where all technical components will be tested and prepared for full-scale operation.

According to Mads Lykke Andersen, Head of Technology Development at European Energy, the energisation marks the start of the company’s wider roll-out of large-scale battery technology. He noted that more major battery projects are expected to come online in 2026 as part of this strategy.

Solar energy plays a vital role in Denmark’s electricity mix. On sunny days, solar parks can supply over 60 per cent of the country’s electricity demand. As renewable energy continues to grow, the need for reliable storage solutions is becoming more important to help stabilise the grid and ensure power is available even when generation fluctuates. The Kvosted battery park has been developed to address this need. With its 200 MWh capacity, it can store enough electricity to power around 18,000 households for a day. This capability helps smooth variations in energy production and supports a more stable and flexible grid.

Thorvald Spanggaard, Executive Vice President and Head of Project Development at European Energy, stated that the company will increasingly focus on battery systems across its project pipeline. By 2027, European Energy plans to install more than 1 GW of battery capacity across its markets, allowing its renewable energy projects to better match supply with demand.

The Kvosted project contributes to Denmark’s transition to cleaner energy, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and demonstrates how large-scale solar and storage can work together to strengthen the energy system. The combined solar and battery park will be officially inaugurated on 2 February 2026 at a ceremony attended by the Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities, Lars Aagaard, and Viborg’s newly elected Mayor, Katrine Fusager Rohde.
