European Energy has signed a balancing and optimisation agreement with Danish company Twig Energy for the operation and optimisation of Måde hybrid park near Esbjerg, western Denmark.
At the site, there will be an integrated setup of two electrolysers (producing 8.1mw of green energy), two wind turbines with a joint capacity of 16mw and a battery energy storage system with a 5mw/20mwh capacity. This arrangement means on-site electricity can be stored, used for hydrogen production or delivered to the Danish grid, depending on marketing conditions and operational needs.
Gregor McDonald, Vice President, Head of Energy Trading & PPA at European Energy, commented: “This agreement reflects the increasing complexity and flexibility of renewable energy systems. By integrating hydrogen production, battery storage and renewable generation into one operational setup, we are creating a system that can respond dynamically to market signals and grid conditions.”
Liyang Han, Senior Energy Markets Expert at Twig Energy, concluded: “Måde isn’t a typical wind or solar farm – it’s an industrial site producing hydrogen as its main output, with on-site wind and a large battery that shares a single grid connection. There are many moving parts and constraints, but it also creates new opportunities for optimisation and grid support. Developing an automated system that can handle real-time system complexities is key, as it optimises outcomes while meeting all needs and constraints, eliminating labour-intensive and sometimes error-prone overhead.”
