At the official opening of the Kikkenborg battery energy storage facility today, Centrica Energy and Lisby WP announced the signing of an optimisation agreement for Denmark's first commercial wind-coupled battery project.

Developed by Lisby WP and BattMan Energy, the 2.25 MW / 4.5 MWh facility combines wind generation and battery storage in a single system. Under the agreement, Centrica Energy will provide route-to-market and optimisation services for the Kikkenborg BESS, enabling participation in short-term power trading and ancillary service markets.

 

Drawing on extensive experience in Danish ancillary service markets and grid-scale battery optimisation across Europe, Centrica Energy will leverage its advanced multi-market optimisation platform to maximise the value of the asset across multiple markets.

Flexibility is key to maximising the value of renewable energy. As the first Danish project to demonstrate this approach, our partnership with Lisby WP and Battman on Kikkenborg demonstrates how flexibility can make better use of existing grid capacity and create room for even more renewable energy to connect to the grid while strengthening the wider power system.

At the Kikkenborg site, the integrated battery solution enables wind energy to be stored when the grid is congested and dispatched when needed, increasing the overall utilisation of the wind turbine.

As Denmark's first project to combine a wind turbine with battery storage, this initiative demonstrates the potential of integrated renewable energy solutions. It is an important step towards creating greater value from renewable energy while supporting both the local community and the wider energy system.

As renewable energy continues to grow, we believe co-located technologies will play an increasingly important role in balancing the power system and unlocking new value streams. Kikkenborg is a strong example of how Centrica Energy is helping develop and optimise the integrated energy assets that will underpin the next generation of renewable infrastructure.

The facility utilises BattMan Energy's BattCon power plant controller, which interacts with Centrica Energy's optimisation and trading platform to maximise value creation across energy and ancillary service markets.
