Equinor’s Ingerslev Å solar plant in Denmark starts production

Equinor has announced that production has started at the 65MW Ingerslev Å solar plant located in Jutland, Denmark.

The facility includes over 100,000 solar panels and six transformer stations installed on site and is operated by BeGreen, a wholly owned subsidiary of Equinor.

Ingerslev Å marks an important milestone as BeGreen’s first project to reach production since Equinor acquired the company in 2023.

With the launch of Ingerslev Å, all four Equinor subsidiaries that specialise in onshore renewables and battery storage now have assets in operation.

Currently, we have around 1.2GW of onshore capacity in production and under construction.

“Our ownership of local companies provides a strong foundation for value creation by leveraging their on-the-ground expertise and maximising synergies with our trading house, Danske Commodities., added Bade.
