Infranode to build the Nordics’ most powerful co-located battery in Denmark
Infranode has reached final investment decision on a 60 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) with an energy capacity of 120 MWh, to be co-located with its Vandel III Solar PV Park in Vejle Municipality, Denmark. The project will be the largest co-located battery in the Nordics, measured by power capacity.
The BESS will consist of six 10 MW units with a two-hour duration, providing a total capacity of 60 MW / 120 MWh. Final investment decision was taken in January 2026, with construction planned for 2026. The project will utilise the site’s existing grid connection.
By adding large-scale storage to Vandel III, Infranode is strengthening the flexibility and stability of renewable energy production. The battery will balance electricity supply throughout the day by storing solar power when generation exceeds demand and releasing it during periods of higher consumption, supporting a more stable energy system and reducing the need for fossil-based generation to manage short-term imbalances.
Bregentved Gods is the landowner of the Vandel III site and a key long-term partner in the project. Through its fully owned entity Unity Power, Bregentved is responsible for operations and maintenance of the solar park. Bregentved also holds a minority equity stake in the asset. Program management is led by Cyrille de Barace from Revv Energy, who is responsible for overseeing development and asset delivery.
“Battery storage is becoming a critical part of a resilient energy system, and Vandel III is a strong example of how renewable production can be strengthened through flexibility,” said Silas Harbo, Partner and Country Manager Denmark at Infranode. “This investment reflects our long-term approach to building infrastructure that supports system stability and the continued transition to renewable energy.”
Max Engardt, Investment Director at Infranode, added:
“We see a promising business case as battery technology matures and market structures continue to evolve. The project has been designed with future potential in mind, including the opportunity to expand energy capacity over time, potentially up to 240 MWh, as demand for flexibility in the system increases.”
Peter Amstrup-Kappel, CEO of Bregentved, said:
“Vandel III has been developed with a long-term perspective, and adding battery storage is a natural extension of that ambition. The battery will make better use of the renewable energy produced on site and contribute to a more balanced and resilient power system. We value the close collaboration with Infranode in developing the asset further.”
