Kolind Solar Farm

Challenge

NRGi Renewables, a Danish project developer for renewable energies, commissioned BELECTRIC with the construction of a 135-megawatt solar farm. For BELECTRIC, the project south-east of the town of Kolind near Aarhus (Denmark) was the company’s largest in the country to date. The project area included embankments and water protection areas that had to be preserved. The aim was also to minimise noise pollution from the PV system’s inverters for residents. 

Solution

BELECTRIC constructed a 135-MWp solar power plant on an area equivalent to 175 football fields. Special attention in the design of the solar farm was paid to preserving the embankments and water protection areas present on the site. Furthermore, the concerns of residents also played a central role in the solar farm’s design. Additional noise studies have been carried out to ensure minimal affection toneighbouring population due to the presence of inverters on site. As BELECTRIC is committed to reducing the impact of solar farm construction on all relevant stakeholders, the results of this study have been incorporated into the engineering of the plant. Today, more than 220,000 modules cover the annual electricity needs of over 30,000 households with solar power.
