Danish renewable energy developer Better Energy has secured a seven-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for a 34 MW solar power plant it will build in the Guldborgsund Municipality, in southern Denmark.
The company said the solar park will be grid-connected within the next 12 months. Danish pharmaceutical company Lundbeck will buy the electricity generated by the solar park at an undisclosed price. “The agreement is a hedge against rising electricity costs as it entails a low fixed cost of electricity for the next seven years,” Better Energy said in a statement. “Danish solar power is now more cost-effective than fossil energy.”
No more details were released on the solar project and the power supply deal.
