Nordic Solar officially inaugurates its first battery storage park in Denmark

The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place yesterday, where Nordic Solar’s CEO, Nikolaj Holtet Hoff, formally opened the park.

“With the opening of our first BESS park, we are taking a big step toward strengthening the role of solar energy in Europe’s future energy system. Battery storage will be an essential part of ensuring that renewable energy is available when it is most needed. This park in Borup is the first of many, and it signals our long-term commitment to building a more flexible and resilient energy infrastructure,” said Nikolaj Holtet Hoff.

The Borup facility has a storage capacity of 10 MWh and is designed to support grid stability and enhance the value of electricity generated by Nordic Solar’s renewable energy projects. As part of its broader strategy, the company has an additional 25 battery projects in development across Europe, representing a total planned storage capacity of nearly 1 GWh.

When construction began, Nordic Solar emphasised that the integration of BESS was a natural extension of its core solar business. The Borup project is the first tangible result of this strategic shift, reflecting the company’s efforts to align with the increasing demand for electrification and the need for grid-balancing solutions in the European energy market. Thanks to its internal EPC capabilities, Nordic Solar has been able to manage the process from design and procurement to construction in-house, ensuring great project control and execution.

By combining solar power generation with battery storage, Nordic Solar aims to ensure a more stable energy supply while enhancing the long-term value of its renewable energy assets.
