Energy projects come and go at a rapid pace in Lolland-Falster. New figures from Energinet show that in 2025, eight new connection projects were reported in the area, while seven projects were simultaneously dropped.
The figures cover a portfolio in constant motion, where projects are continuously changed, postponed, or completely abandoned.
This makes it difficult to plan the expansion of the electricity grid in the area.
- New large solar cell projects, battery parks, and companies with high electricity consumption come and go in an ultra-dynamic way, says operations director at Energinet Søren Dupont Kristensen.
The development is happening at the same time as the need for more electricity grid is growing significantly. Both electricity production and consumption are expected to increase sharply in the coming years.
But even though the overall need is increasing, local fluctuations can be large. Projects can disappear, be delayed, or change in scope, and this affects the planning of specific facilities.
Things are interconnected
According to Energinet, a project in one place can depend on whether another project is realised. For example, a solar cell project may depend on whether a nearby data centre materialises and can take the power.
This means that the expansion of the electricity grid is not only about building more, but also about getting it right.
The development on Lolland-Falster is not unique. Nationwide, Energinet's figures show the same pattern with large fluctuations in connection projects.
In both South and North Jutland, almost as many projects were reported in 2025 as were simultaneously dropped.
