Energy Plants European Energy constructs big scale solar and wind power parks and Power-to-X solutions. We are building solutions to fight climate change. Wind Power Solar Power Power-to-X Wind Power We have more than 15 years of experience in the realization of green energy coming from wind farms. We build both onshore and offshore wind farms across the globe. Onshore wind Our first commercial operation started in 2005 and consists of 10 2MW turbines. At that time, there was a greater opportunity for growth in the renewables sector in Germany, and so we partnered with a German-based company to construct 4 out of the 10 onshore wind turbines. For the past two decades wind power has been a widely sought-after technology for renewable developers - especially in European countries. The cost of onshore wind matches traditional sources in some areas of Europe in the mid-2000s. Prices have only continued to fall in recent years, therefore driving down the levelized cost with a parallel increased rate of development. The first onshore wind project: Mildenberg (2005) Offshore wind Due to higher wind speeds that are available offshore compared to on-land, the market and demand for offshore wind farms have increased significantly during the time of European Energy’s operations. Not only is the electricity generation higher per amount of capacity installed, the overall cost of construction has reduced by more than 50% over the last 5 years, making offshore an even more attractive business case. In 2018, European Energy took an important step into the offshore wind market by the acquisition of Sprogø Windpark in Denmark from Sund & Bælt Holding A/S. The windpark cosists of 7 MHI Vestas wind turbines, with a total capacity of 21 MW. The windpark is part of our internal offshore strategy, and is therefore not for sale. The windpark was constructed in 2009 as part of COP15. Offshore wind: Sprogø (2009) Solar Power The implementation of solar is globally on the rise. With the price of solar power reducing by more than 80 percent over the last 6 years, it has become an attractive business case for European Energy. We participate in the ongoing development of solar power and solar farms. Utility-scale solar farms European Energy builds utility-scale solar projects all around the globe. The solar farms are mainly being build onshore on land. Today, solar panels can be anticipated as a “third” crop. With a profitable turn on investment, an increasing number of landowners are becoming interested in setting up solar panels on their land. We collaborate with various stakeholders in the realization of increasing the level of green power through solar panels on land. We always strive to be at the forefront of new technologies and solutions within the industry of solar power. Hanstholmvej, Denmark (2019) Expertise in solar power As a company, we strive to learn and develop our offerings within solar power. We collaborate for instance with The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) on a test solar park. The facility is testing bi-facial solar modules that can absorb energy on both sides and follow the location of the sun all day with trackers. Collaborations like these will bring important knowledge about the development and maintenance of solar modules and bring us at the forefront of the market of solar power. ”European Energy gets the opportunity to collect exact data that we can use in our utility scale solar projects all over the world...” - Knud Erik Andersen, CEO. Test centre at DTU's Risø Campus, Denmark (2018) Power-to-X European Energy is at the forefront of Power-to-X solutions. Battery solutions in the UK Energy storage has become increasingly commercially feasible over the past few years, with battery prices falling more than 75%. And the prices are expected to decrease further. European Energy is already developing battery solutions for several projects, primarily in the United Kingdom. Realizing the commercial potential Battery technology aside, today there are several novel energy storage technologies being researched and developed. These technologies help stabilise volatility in electrical networks supply and demand curves. They help by converting excess power into hydrogen, heat, gravity or some other form of energy store, while at the same time decreasing curtailment losses in renewable energy generation. European Energy is already involved in several projects aimed at realizing the commercial potential. Excess electricity from wind and solar power The primary driver for these technologies is the availability of excess electricity from wind and solar power at exceptionally low price points. Hydrogen is relatively easy and cheap to produce, but has low energy density and is thus expensive to store and transport. Moreover, traditional combustion technologies are limited in their ability to use hydrogen. This serves as a strong driver towards “Power-to-X” technologies, where hydrogen is used as a base product.
