Another 500 MW of unsubsidized solar for Denmark

• German PV property supervisor Encavis as well as Danish renewables business Greengo have currently protected approval for one large job.

Denmark is showing the way in advance for climate defense in Europe. The nation's center-left government determined at the end of last year, Danish CO2 exhausts need to drop 70% from their 1990 degrees by 2030. Most of Denmark's opposition events have actually backed the idea.

To strike that target, the government is betting mostly on overseas wind but solar is additionally anticipated to grow significantly this decade. An example of just how that development might emerge occurred this week when German eco-friendly electrical power manufacturer Encavis and also Danish project designer Greengo agreed to create 500 MW of unsubsidized solar power projects in Denmark.

The strategy imagines Encavis handling jobs at a beginning as well as funding them as much as grid connection as the two companions work with development and also building and construction.

Planning approval and also a building authorization have currently been safeguarded for a huge PV plant in Ringkøbing Skjern, on the west coast of Jutland, with building slated to begin this year.

Pledge

" We know Denmark effectively currently from our growing wind portfolio, so adding solar to the mix at this scale makes ideal feeling," said Encavis CEO Dierk Paskert. The German renewables firm this year introduced plans to increase its generation capacity from 1.7 GW at the end of in 2015 to 3.4 GW by 2026.

Greengo asserts to have a 2 GW advancement pipe of more than 70 Danish solar tasks. "Denmark is most likely among the most interesting solar markets these days," claimed Greengo CEO Karsten Nielsen. "The ambitious 70%, 2030 goal will help increase the energy shift and also it will certainly produce an enormous need for electrical energy."

Denmark already has subsidy-free solar tasks under development, including a 400 MW scheme near the Nissum Fjord in the west of the nation and a 125 MW task under advancement by Better Power. The last facility is expected to provide power to Danish clothing firm Bestseller under a power purchase arrangement. Better Energy stated in May, that task would be the very first subsidy-free plant in Denmark, and also the biggest by generation capability.
