Alight is expanding in Denmark through the acquisition of a new large-scale hybrid solar and storage project on Sjælland from GreenGo Energy Group.

Alight has acquired a solar-plus-storage asset in Denmark, combining 79 MWp of solar power with 55 MW battery energy storage. The project, developed together with GreenGo Energy, is Alight’s first integrated solar and storage project in Denmark and an important addition to Alight’s growing pipeline.

Alight, a leading Nordic solar developer and independent power producer, has agreed to acquire a solar-and-battery project on Sjælland, Denmark, from GreenGo Energy. The project combines a solar park under development with a significant battery energy storage system (BESS) and marks the first project that Alight and GreenGo Energy will develop together in Denmark.

The project is a 79 MWp utility-scale solar park co-located with a 55 MW BESS, located in Kalundborg. Covering 90 hectares, it is expected to produce around 95 GWh annually. Among the 7 GW of projects Alight has evaluated in Denmark, Kalundborg stands out with the strongest return potential, thanks to its combination of high irradiation, optimized layout, and favourable land and grid conditions.

The co-located 55 MW BESS is a central part of the project’s design. Pairing solar and storage behind the same grid connection enables time-shifting energy use to evening hours, enhancing the value of the project’s output.

“We’re excited to add a solid project to our development pipeline and expand our Danish portfolio. This hybrid park is a fully integrated solar-plus-storage project in one of the most strategic locations in Denmark. By combining solar with BESS in DK2, we can generate renewable power where and when it is most needed”, says Warren Campbell, CEO at Alight.

The project in Kalundborg is at an early stage with land lease agreement secured and the zoning and environmental permitting process underway. Alight and GreenGo Energy will continue to jointly develop the project until it’s ready-to-build, which is currently expected in 2028.

“We are very pleased to partner with Alight on this first project together in Denmark. GreenGo Energy will continue as development partner through ready-to-build, and we see Kalundborg as a strong first step in supporting Alight’s ambitious vision in the Nordics”, says Karsten Nielsen, CEO at GreenGo Energy.

The project will be developed for long term power purchase agreements, (PPAs), under which Alight owns and operates the assets and sells the electricity to commercial and industrial customers at a fixed, low price. Together with previously announced projects in Finland and Sweden, Kalundborg is an important step towards Alight’s target of at least 5 GW installed capacity by 2030.
