Electrum to build photovoltaic (PV) project for BeGreen in Denmark

Electrum Group, a leading Polish Climate Tech business, has commenced the construction of the BeGreen operated and Equinor owned Ingerslev Å solar park in Denmark. As part of strategic expansion into new markets, Electrum will construct a PV farm with a capacity of 65.4 MWp on an area exceeding 67 hectares. As the PV EPC, Electrum is responsible for building and installing over 100,000 photovoltaic panels and six transformer stations. This project will contribute to the sustainable development of renewable energy in Denmark. The project is scheduled for completion in early 2025.

BeGreen, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Norwegian energy company Equinor, is a leading provider of large-scale solar parks and certified green energy. BeGreen’s business approach is based on the principle of 360-degree sustainable development, ensuring that each project is carried out with long-term benefits for the environment, local communities, and the economy.

Electrum and BeGreen: Synergy in Action

As the PV EPC, Electrum is responsible for the construction of Ingerslev Å PV park, including all construction, connection, and commissioning work for the entire photovoltaic farm. The company brings over 26 years of experience in implementing numerous renewable and hybrid energy projects throughout the Central and Eastern European region, striving for compliance with the highest technical and environmental standards.

The project will be delivered by up to 100 workers, who are responsible for the construction and installation of over 100,000 PV modules. The park will be equipped with six transformer stations with a total capacity of 9 MVA. The combined length of cable lines used in the project will exceed 600 km. Currently, the piles and structures are being installed on site.

– The commencement of our first photovoltaic project in Denmark is a milestone in our business. We are proud to leverage our extensive experience and expertise in a market where over 70% of electricity generation comes from renewable sources. It is also encouraging to see that from the blend of our holistic and creative approach to business and BeGreen’s unique environmental awareness, we have once again managed to create a beneficial business partnership for the alternative energy system of the future – stressed Tomasz Taff, Commercial Director at Electrum Holding.

Both Electrum Group and BeGreen prioritize supporting the communities in which they operate and preserving ecosystem integrity. BeGreen emphasizes the preservation of biodiversity through innovative programs aimed at environmental protection. This approach to responsible business practices fosters strong relationships with local communities and fosters the long-term, sustainable development of both companies.

– Our latest development in Denmark is a step toward our ambition to build a material and profitable solar portfolio in Northern Europe. We define energy transformation as a process that encompasses everything and everyone: from the smallest link in the supply chain to biodiversity. In the industry, we strive to deliver the highest and most uncompromising quality. Our partnership with Electrum as our PV EPC for the project falls in line with these efforts. Electrum has extensive experience and very high standards in the work they do, and both our companies also share a unique approach to renewable energy project development, as evidenced by our previous collaboration – said Cyrille de Baracé, CTO at BeGreen.

The Electrum Group, originating from Białystok, continues its expansion into foreign markets as one of the key elements of its international business development strategy.
