Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Equinor has begun operations at the 65MW Ingerslev A solar plant in Jutland via BeGreen.
  • The facility is the first by BeGreen to go live since Equinor acquired the company in 2023.
  • Power from Ingerslev A will be sold by Danske Commodities in the DK1 merchant market in Denmark.

Equinor ASA (EQNR - Free Report) has officially begun production at its first solar power facility (in Denmark) —the 65-megawatt (MW) Ingerslev Å plant located in Jutland. The project is operated by BeGreen, a wholly owned Equinor subsidiary specializing in solar development.

EQNR’s BeGreen Achieves First Post-Acquisition Milestone

The Ingerslev Å solar facility is the first BeGreen project to reach production since Equinor acquired the company in 2023. This milestone marks a key step in Equinor’s broader push to build a profitable onshore renewables portfolio across selected markets in Europe and the Americas.

Anders Bade, senior vice president for onshore and markets within Equinor's Renewables segment, called the project a step toward building a profitable onshore renewables business. He noted that EQNR currently has around 1.2 gigawatts of onshore capacity, either in operation or under construction.

EQNR Strengthens Local Reach via Synergies With Danske Commodities

Equinor emphasized the benefits of owning local development companies (like BeGreen) that provide deep regional knowledge and operational agility. These capabilities are further enhanced by synergies with Danske Commodities, EQNR’s trading arm, which will sell the power from Ingerslev Å on merchant terms in Denmark’s DK1 power market.

The solar plant is expected to generate approximately 68 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually. The facility was built in less than a year, highlighting the fast development timelines common in onshore renewable projects. It comprises more than 100,000 solar panels and six transformer stations.

With Ingerslev Å now online, all four of Equinor’s subsidiaries focused on onshore renewables and battery storage have operational assets, underscoring the company’s accelerating transition to cleaner energy.
