People's Daily praises Chint and other Chinese companies for Danish clean energy development
Denmark is one of the few countries that has set legally binding emissions reduction targets. The country's parliament passed Denmark's first Climate Bill in 2019, setting targets to achieve a 70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. And in 2021, it announced a new climate target to achieve a 50-54% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025, based on 1990 levels. This new target is an important milestone for Denmark to achieve a 70% reduction in emissions by 2030.
In the global context of ensuring energy security and responding to climate change, the Danish government has taken a series of policy measures to promote the development of renewable energy, and the local PV market has been steadily expanding, as countries try to explore feasible policy inspirations to optimize the energy system and promote green transformation from this country. Several years ago, Astronergy set its sights on Denmark as an attractive overseas market, and carried out a number of photovoltaic power plant projects to establish a stable partnership, continue to help local clean energy utilization, and jointly help green energy "light up" Europe.
Recently, People's Daily reported on the overseas development achievements of Chinese clean energy enterprises under the title of "Chinese Enterprises Help Denmark Develop Clean Energy", taking the Barmosen project in Denmark, where Astronergy provided EPC services for the construction of a photovoltaic power plant, as a typical case.

When you walk into the Bamerson Solar Park in Denmark, the rows of solar panels reflect the blue sky and white clouds, and the colorful huts on the fields form a beautiful picture.
Located in the city of Voldingborg in the southern part of the Danish island of Zealand, the Bamerson Solar Park is an important solar power project in Denmark, constructed by Zhejiang Chint New Energy Development Co. At present, the construction of the park has entered the final stage. Mustafa, the construction site manager, introduced to reporters that the park was built on the bed of a dried-up and abandoned lake, covering an area of about 123 hectares, equivalent to the area of 250 soccer fields, with a design power generation capacity of 137.3 megawatts (MW).
Mustafa pointed to the hundreds of meters of solar panels to the reporter said: "These are Chinese companies supply panels. China has the world's largest photovoltaic industry as well as the best photovoltaic products, 'Made in China' is not only high quality, but also good light effect, the park uses solar panels are 'Made in China'."
According to reports, the project uses photovoltaic modules rated at 540 watts of solar templates, each solar template contains two solar panels, and each solar panel consists of thousands of small solar cell templates. According to the characteristics of the local environment, the solar panels are arranged in an east-west direction, so that they can fully absorb the sunlight from early morning to late evening to ensure the continuous supply of electricity.
The construction period of the project was originally scheduled for one year. Chinese builders and more than 100 engineering and construction personnel from Turkey, Poland, Denmark and other countries worked hard together and completed the construction task ahead of schedule in only 8 months.
Mustafa was deeply impressed by the professionalism of the Chinese personnel. "In the process of cooperation, no matter what problems we encountered, Chinese enterprises can promptly send professional and technical personnel to negotiate with us to solve them." Mustafa said, for example, Denmark has strict management regulations on construction safety, the Chinese team carefully studied the relevant regulations, flexibly adjusted the program, tailored to meet the Danish safety standards of solar panel component installation tools.
According to estimates, after the completion and commissioning of the Bamerson Solar PV Park, it will produce about 128 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which can supply green power for 38,000 Danish households. The park's climate benefits are also significant, as it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 106,000 tons per year, which is about 2% of the total carbon dioxide emissions of the city of Voldingborg.
Data from the Danish Energy Agency shows that as of the end of March this year, Denmark's installed photovoltaic capacity totaled 3.2 gigawatts (GW), of which 236 megawatts (MW) were newly installed in the first quarter. Solar energy is an important renewable energy source in Denmark, playing a key role in the country's goal of realizing 100% renewable energy generation by 2030, and the government plans to build more solar PV parks. Mustafa said he believes that China has the advantage of new energy development, will further help Denmark and other European countries green transformation, and jointly realize sustainable development.
