Utility EWII has connected a 30MW/43MWh BESS unit to the grid on the island of Bornholm in Denmark, the largest in the country.

Should Denmark use fossil-fueled power plants?

For more than 100 years, fossil-fueled power plants have provided society with electricity, and although Denmark has successfully integrated a high share of renewables into the power grid, there is more work to be done. Today, the need for supply security and power system stability still requires the use of conventional power plants.

What is a battery storage project?

Our goal is to build an integrated business where technology, power trading, and development work together to create long-term value. Initiating a battery storage project involves ensuring proximity to the grid’s transmission level, with a screening process initiated with grid operators to assess available capacity.

Could the Bornholm project power the island if a submarine cable fails?
