Connecting the Glejbjerg Solar Park to the grid adds 148 MW of utility-scale solar capacity and completes its transition to full operation
- European Energy has connected the 148 MW Glejbjerg Solar Park to the Danish grid, adding a utility-scale asset with a Power Purchase agreement to its Northern Europe portfolio.
- The park comprises 238,368 PV modules and 572 inverters, with an expected annual production of around 153 GWh.
- COD was achieved at the end of 2025 following a consistent construction process, reducing technical risk and positioning the asset for stable long-term operational performance.
European Energy has connected the Glejbjerg Solar Park to the grid following the completion of final technical checks.
The solar park adds 148.2 MW of installed capacity. It strengthens the company’s operational platform in Northern Europe, adding another utility-scale asset with a Power Purchase agreement suitable for long-term ownership.
Glejbjerg Solar Park comprises 238,368 PV modules installed on a fixed-tilt mounting system and supported by 572 inverters. The technology setup supports streamlined operations and maintenance, which is often valued in long-duration infrastructure portfolios.
Annual production is expected to reach around 153 GWh, corresponding to the electricity consumption of roughly 35,000 Danish households. The generation profile contributes to Denmark’s continued expansion of utility-scale solar production and supports the decarbonisation of the national electricity system.
“Bringing Glejbjerg Solar Park online ahead of schedule demonstrates a consistent construction process and provides a strong foundation for the asset’s operational performance in the years ahead,” says Poul Jacobsen, EVP and Head of EPC in European Energy.
Construction took approximately one year and was delivered on schedule. Achieving COD at the end of 2025 reflects consistent progress throughout the construction phase and provides a solid basis for operational optimisation in the coming year.
Several community-oriented features have been incorporated into the surrounding landscape, including a shelter and recreational areas, designed to integrate the project into the local area and support long-term coexistence.
Its scale, technology configuration and contractual framework align with investor expectations for stable, long-duration energy infrastructure assets. Electricity from the plant is delivered under a power purchase agreement, ensuring stable revenue characteristics that support ongoing operations.
With COD now achieved, Glejbjerg Solar Park transitions fully into its operational phase. The completion of construction and commissioning reduces technical risk and establishes a clear basis for long-term asset performance.
Glejbjerg Solar Park is connected at the same grid point as the nearby Holsted Solar Park, also owned by European Energy, which is already operational. The shared grid infrastructure creates a natural linkage between the two assets, including the integration of battery energy storage. The two solar parks are part of European Energy’s operational project pipeline, suitable for future commercial optimisation.
