Buelundvej Solar Park is a 225-hectare solar project located in Ikast-Brande Municipality in the central part of Jylland. The project is currently undergoing the public hearing, which is available here: LINK.
The project was applied for in 2022 as one of the first marquee projects of Copenhagen Energy. The project is a result of a long-standing relationship between the main landowner and Andreas von Rosen, the chairman of Copenhagen Energy.
The project proposes building a solar park partially around 3 turbines, which were in the final stages of permitting, while simultaneously constructing a solar park. The project has been selected for permitting in 2022 due to the significant nature potential the area offers, with a special focus on raising the water levels in the eastern part of the project. The large distances to neighboring houses and the use of existing vegetation, which allows for constructing a large solar park with substantial energy production and limited visibility for the nearest neighbors also contributed to the project obtaining political support. Additionally, the project annual financial contribution will provide to the local civic association in the nearest city, Blåhøj.
The project is currently in the middle of the permitting process and is receiving input via and substantial endorsements from key local stakeholders, including DN Ikast-Brande via a public hearing phase. It is expected that the project will receive final political approval by the middle of 2026.
The rest of 2024 will see the project secure its grid connection via a Grid Connection Maturation Agreement with Energinet. Additionally many of the core environmental studies will be concluded under the management of the lead advisor, Planplus will be finalized using state-of-the art detection equipment.
