BeGreen and Danske Commodities expand their partnership with co-located solar and battery park
BeGreen and Danske Commodities have expanded their partnership with an optimisation agreement for Ingerslev Å. Ingerslev Å is a co-located solar park and battery energy storage system (BESS), located in Denmark’s Norddjurs Municipality in the DK1 price area.
The solar park has a generation capacity of 48 MW and will be co-located with a battery energy storage system (BESS) with an energy storage capacity of 40 MWh. This enables Ingerslev Å to provide a significant amount of electricity to the local energy supply. Specifically, Ingerslev Å is able to cover the electricity consumption of approximately 20,000 households, equivalent to about 54% of the entire municipality.
Ingerslev Å Solar Park has been in operation since June 2025, and the co-located battery energy storage system (BESS) will now be integrated directly within the solar park. The BESS enables excess solar generation during periods of peak production to be stored and dispatched at times of higher electricity demand and stronger market prices, improving the utilization and value of the renewable energy produced by the park.
“With Danske Commodities now also optimising the battery at Ingerslev Å, we can make even better use of the solar power we produce. It's a natural next step in our partnership, and a good example of how solar and storage together can deliver more reliable, more flexible renewable energy to the grid,” said Mathias Vedsted Therkildsen, Chief Commercial Officer at BeGreen.
Danske Commodities is balance responsible party (BRP) for Ingerslev Å Solar Park and will now also optimise the co-located battery as balancing service provider (BSP).
“We are pleased to expand Danske Commodities’ partnership with BeGreen through the addition of a co-located battery. By optimising the asset across wholesale power markets as well as ancillary services markets, we can unlock additional revenue opportunities and help maximise the long-term value of the project for our partners,” said Jesper Tronborg, Senior Vice President of Origination & New Markets at Danske Commodities.
Through the optimisation agreement, BeGreen and Danske Commodities will optimise energy production and storage at Ingerslev Å, providing much needed flexibility to the power market.
