Renewable Energy Cluster – East

An Area with Great Potential

In the eastern part of Vordingborg Municipality, the energy company Copenhagen Energy has applied to establish 5 renewable energy projects, and the developer Wind Estate has applied for a project on the north side of Møn. At Høvdingsgård, Torben Halbye has applied to set up two wind turbines, which will pave the way for a local district heating project together with E.ON.

Energy parks have not yet been established in the eastern energy cluster, but in several places, older wind turbines stand strong as they spin and deliver green energy.

 

> A Wealth of Solar Panels and Wind Turbines

At five locations in the eastern energy cluster, there are projects for future electricity production in the form of solar panels, wind turbines, or a combination. Here are projects for 464 hectares of solar panels and 14 wind turbines – installations that together can produce 613,000 MWh of electricity per year, equivalent to the electricity consumption of 360,000 Danes.

The production of green energy in the energy cluster is also intended to contribute to Vordingborg Municipality’s vision of becoming Eastern Denmark’s powerhouse for green energy and business development in the municipality, as larger energy-consuming companies can advantageously establish themselves close to a solar or wind farm.

“In Vordingborg Municipality, we need large amounts of renewable energy if we are to have hopes of becoming Eastern Denmark’s powerhouse for green energy. Large amounts of renewable energy are the foundation for creating the right conditions for business development within the green transition in our area,” says Helene Urth, Director of Business Vordingborg.

 

> A Contribution to the Local Community

The installations can also contribute to the development of the local community, as the owners of the installations must pay into the Green Fund. This is a fund that locals can apply to, and the money can, for example, go towards nature restoration, developing the local area’s access to nature, or general improvement of the local environment.

> Oremandsgaard Estate

Oremandsgaard Estate is located close to Præstø Fjord. It is run daily by August Hage, who took it over from his father Daniel Friedenreich Hage in 2013. The estate has been in the Hage family since 1860, and since 1977, the farming on the estate has been organic. When August Hage took over the estate, he established a wedding and event business, and additionally, Oremandsgaard houses the Radius distillery and Multitap bottling plant, where the owner of Oremandsgaard is a co-owner of both businesses.

Oremandsgaard Estate has big plans for 110 hectares of the estate's fields. August Hage, together with the energy developer Copenhagen Energy, has applied to Vordingborg Municipality for the fields to be used in the future to generate green energy. Thus, the estate can both contribute to Vordingborg Municipality and Denmark's green transition and simultaneously future-proof the estate. The project will have a total capacity of 138.5 MW, equivalent to approximately 13,200 households' consumption and will consist of both solar panels and three wind turbines, according to Copenhagen Energy.

Back in 2023, Oremandsgaard Estate won the Vordingborg Business Association's Sustainability Award, partly based on the above, as well as the fact that the estate owner opened the estate to small local businesses. Additionally, August Hage actively works for more nature on the estate's grounds.

"There are many of us on the team that is Oremandsgaard today, so it feels great to be able to pass on the praise to them. And to show that it all makes a difference. We try to utilize many collaborations to make use of the empty capacity we have had on the estate. Now we are approaching a point where we are running out of space. So it feels like we are on the right track, and the award is a huge pat on the back," said August Hage.
