Lolland-Falster and Vordingborg account for every fifth megawatt

A fifth of Denmark's planned capacity in renewable energy is located in three municipalities: Lolland, Guldborgsund, and Vordingborg. 

This is evident from the Danish Energy Agency's report for the second quarter of 2025, which FemernBusiness has obtained access to. Nationally, the list contains 79 projects totalling 5,955.5 MW. The three municipalities account for 1,258.4 MW distributed across nine projects. One out of five megawatts is thus located just north or south of Storstrømmen.

Waiting for connection

In Guldborgsund, it is Grænge/Radsted at 285.0 MW and Solar Park Vålse at 100.0 MW. In Lolland, the list includes Gerringe by Rødby Fjord 199.6 MW, Lidsø (formerly Rødby Fjord II) 180.0 MW, Søllested 150.0 MW, and Skodsebøllevej 115.0 MW. In Vordingborg, it concerns Køng Mose 170.0 MW, Ørslev 32.0 MW, and Høvdingsgård 26.8 MW. All are solar parks with an adopted local plan and are waiting for grid connection.

The reason these three municipalities account for so much is not the number of projects, but their size. The national average is 75.4 MW per project; in Lolland, Guldborgsund, and Vordingborg municipalities, the average is 139.8 MW. 

Fewer projects - much more capacity.

The technological picture is clear. Nationally, 5,543.2 MW of solar is planned compared to 412.3 MW of onshore wind. In the three municipalities, everything in this report is solar, and alone here lies 22.7 percent of the total solar capacity in the national list. The report does not say anything about what has already been built, but shows what the municipal councils have specifically adopted through local plans, and which now await realisation and grid connection.
