Alight inaugurates 215-MWp Lidso solar park on Denmark’s Lolland island

• Alight has opened the 215-MWp Lidso solar park on Lolland, Denmark—one of the country’s largest PV sites, designed for grid-friendly, year-round output.

Alight has cut the ribbon on the 215-MWp Lidso solar park on Lolland, adding a major block of daytime generation to a region already known for agricultural exports and a growing cluster of clean-energy projects. For Denmark’s grid, which blends wind dominance with rising solar shares, a park of this scale helps smooth seasonal profiles—more sun in late spring and summer to complement winter wind.

The engineering playbook is modern and bankable: high-efficiency (largely bifacial) modules on single-axis trackers that stretch morning and afternoon yield, string inverters for granular control and fast fault isolation, and plant-level controllers aligned with Danish grid code—reactive power support, ride-through capability, and ramp-rate limits. A centralized SCADA platform tracks performance to the string level, enabling predictive maintenance (thermography, IV-curve tracing) and data-driven cleaning cycles that recover basis points of lost output over time.

Siting on Lolland brings practical advantages. Proximity to strong nodes reduces curtailment risk and lowers electrical losses, while an established logistics corridor shortens maintenance response times. The layout integrates biodiversity measures—pollinator-friendly groundcover, wildlife corridors, and low-glare alignments near roads and residences—features that are increasingly required in Danish permitting and helpful for community acceptance.

Commercially, large Danish PV projects often blend fixed offtake with merchant exposure. Expect a PPA backbone—potentially with industrial buyers or a utility—supplemented by wholesale market participation. As Denmark expands flexibility products, Alight can unlock new revenues by reserving space and transformer headroom for a future battery that shifts late-afternoon energy into the evening peak and provides fast frequency response.

Big picture, Lidso signals how Denmark’s solar sector is maturing: utility-scale parks sized and sited to complement wind, built to stringent grid standards, and prepared for add-on storage when market rules finish catching up. The electrons are green, but the value comes from how predictably—and where—they show up.
