European Energy Partners With Twig Energy To Optimise Hybrid Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen Facility In Denmark

European Energy has entered into an agreement with Danish balancing responsible party (BRP) Twig Energy to manage and optimise operations at its hybrid renewable energy facility in Måde, near Esbjerg in western Denmark. The partnership represents a significant step in the company’s efforts to integrate multiple clean energy technologies into a single, flexible energy system capable of responding to changing market and grid conditions.

The agreement covers a complex setup that combines renewable power generation, energy storage, and hydrogen production. The Måde site includes two electrolysers with a combined capacity of 8.1 MW for green hydrogen production, two wind turbines with a total generation capacity of 16 MW, and a battery energy storage system (BESS) capable of delivering 5 MW of power with 20 MWh of storage capacity.

According to European Energy, this is the first time the company has implemented a balancing arrangement where renewable power generation, battery storage, and flexible electricity consumption are managed together under a single BRP agreement. The approach is designed to maximise efficiency by coordinating how electricity is generated, stored, consumed, or exported to the grid based on real-time operational and market conditions.

Under the agreement, Twig Energy will take responsibility for balancing the site and optimising electricity flows between the wind turbines, battery storage system, and electrolysers. This integrated setup allows renewable electricity produced on-site to be directed where it creates the greatest value.

Depending on electricity prices, grid requirements, and operational needs, power can be stored in the battery, used to produce green hydrogen, or supplied directly to the electricity grid.European Energy believes this level of integration reflects the evolving nature of renewable energy systems, which increasingly rely on flexibility and intelligent energy management.

By combining multiple technologies at a single location, the company aims to improve system efficiency while helping support grid stability and the broader energy transition.A key component of the project is the production of green hydrogen. The electrolysers at Måde use renewable electricity generated on-site to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, creating hydrogen without carbon emissions.

The resulting green hydrogen can be used in industrial applications and is expected to play an important role in reducing emissions from sectors that are difficult to electrify directly. At the same time, hydrogen production provides a flexible source of electricity demand that can absorb renewable power when generation is high.

Twig Energy highlighted that the Måde facility differs from traditional renewable energy projects because it combines several interconnected assets operating under a single grid connection. Managing such a system requires balancing multiple technical and commercial considerations while ensuring efficient performance across all components.

To achieve this, the company is developing automated optimisation systems capable of responding to real-time market signals and operational constraints, helping maximise value while reducing the need for manual intervention.The Måde project forms part of European Energy’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the Power-to-X sector and develop integrated renewable energy solutions in Denmark and other international markets.

Power-to-X technologies, particularly green hydrogen production, are increasingly seen as a critical component of future energy systems because they enable renewable electricity to be converted into fuels and products that can be stored, transported, and used across different industries.The facility is already operational, with the wind turbines, battery storage system, and hydrogen production units fully installed and functioning.

Over the coming months, European Energy and Twig Energy will focus on refining and optimising the interaction between these technologies to unlock the full potential of the integrated energy system. The project serves as an example of how renewable generation, energy storage, and hydrogen production can work together to create a more flexible, resilient, and efficient energy infrastructure.
