Eurowind has enlisted BOS Power as system integrator for the BESS project, and the company will provide storage containers, inverters, an energy management system (EMS), transformers, switchgears and engineering services, while Eurowind will handle construction.

The BESS will be operational by the end of 2025 and will provide ancillary and frequency control services to the transmission system operator (TSO) of Denmark, Energinet, while maximising the output of solar and wind on the grid.

“BOS Power’s expertise in large-scale energy storage and renewable integration made them the ideal partner for this ambitious project,” said Morten Gaarde, global EPC director at Eurowind Energy A/S.

Eurowind has primarily been active in solar and wind but readers may be familiar with it as one of two developers behind a massive, long duration (8-hour) 400MW/3200MWh BESS being proposed in California, covered by Energy-Storage.news in November 2024 (Premium access).

Other developers and operators to have entered the Danish BESS market include Better Energy, Nordic Solar and Dais Energy. Dais CEO Daniel Connor discussed the firm’s 250MW pipeline in Denmark with Energy-Storage.news whilst at the Energy Storage Summit Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) 2024 in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2024.

Ørsted has broken ground on a BESS development co-located with onshore substation infrastructure for Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm in the UK.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has published an environmental impact report (EIR) for a huge 4.6GWh co-located BESS and solar project spread across 9,500 acres of land in Western Fresno County under development by US-based independent power producer (IPP) Intersect Power. 

Sweden-headquartered BESS developer-operator Ingrid Capacity will build a 70MW/140MWh project in Finland, which it claimed will be the largest in the country.

As Europe’s BESS industry matures, project owner-operators are taking on more control – and risk – when it comes to procuring technology and services for their projects.

IPP E energija Group has started building what it claims is the largest ‘private’ BESS project in Lithuania, a few weeks after the Baltic region decoupled from Russia’s electricity grid.
