European Energy signs balancing agreement with Twig Energy for Måde hybrid park

Jun 16, 2026

Agreement supports integrated operation of wind power, battery storage and hydrogen production at the Måde hybrid park in western Denmark.

– European Energy has signed a balancing and optimisation agreement with Twig Energy for the Måde hybrid park near Esbjerg.

– The setup combines 16 MW of wind power, 5 MW / 20 MWh of battery storage and 8.1 MW of electrolyser capacity under a single balancing agreement.

– The project supports the production of green hydrogen while enabling flexible use of renewable electricity through coordinated optimisation of generation, storage and consumption.

Copenhagen, Denmark, 16th of June, 2026 – European Energy has signed an agreement with the Danish balancing responsible party (BRP) Twig Energy for the operation and optimisation of the company’s hybrid park at Måde near Esbjerg in western Denmark.

The agreement covers the balancing and optimisation of a combined setup consisting of two electrolysers totalling 8.1 MW  producing green hydrogen, two wind turbines with a combined capacity of 16 MW, and a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 5 MW / 20 MWh.

The Måde site marks the first time European Energy has entered into a balancing setup in which power generation, storage, and flexible electricity offtake are optimised together under a single BRP agreement.

“This agreement reflects the increasing complexity and flexibility of renewable energy systems,” said Gregor McDonald, Vice President, Head of Energy Trading & PPA at European Energy.

“By integrating hydrogen production, battery storage and renewable generation into one operational setup, we are creating a system that can respond dynamically to market signals and grid conditions.”

Under the agreement, Twig Energy will manage the balancing responsibilities and support the optimisation of electricity flows between the wind turbines, battery system and electrolyser. The setup enables on-site electricity to be stored, used for hydrogen production, or delivered to the grid, depending on market conditions and operational needs.

The electrolyser at Måde will use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen for industrial applications and support the integration of variable renewable energy into the Danish energy system.

“Måde isn’t a typical wind or solar farm – it’s an industrial site producing hydrogen as its main output, with on-site wind and a large battery that shares a single grid connection. There are many moving parts and constraints, but it also creates new opportunities for optimisation and grid support,” says Liyang Han, Senior Energy Markets Expert at Twig.

“Developing an automated system that can handle real-time system complexities is key, as it optimises outcomes while meeting all needs and constraints, eliminating labour-intensive and sometimes error-prone overhead.”

The Måde project is part of European Energy’s broader activities within Power-to-X and integrated renewable energy solutions in Denmark and internationally.

The site is already operational, with all three components in place, and is undergoing optimisation over the coming months.
