In 2025, DANREC took another important step towards the future by investing in a new commercial plot of 16,951 m² in Karup – directly adjacent to the company’s existing site.The land was originally subdivided in 1980 by the former Karup Municipality but had remained unused for decades. After extended and constructive negotiations with Viborg Municipality, an agreement was reached during 2025, and as of 1 November 2025, DANREC officially became the owner of the site.
Fully utilised facilities
With the latest acquisition, DANREC now operates on a total area of 52,270 m². Approximately 15,000 m² is used for the company’s solar park, while around 7,500 m² is dedicated to production, storage and administration.
The existing buildings and production facilities are now fully utilised – a clear sign of growth and the need for additional capacity.
Production, storage and green energy
The new plot therefore provides a solid and long-term foundation for DANREC’s continued development. Although the final use has not yet been determined, concrete plans for the area are expected to be prepared during 2026.
A natural step would be the expansion of production and storage facilities in Karup. At the same time, parts of the land could support further development of DANREC’s solar park, which already covers approximately one-third of the company’s electricity consumption and actively contributes to more sustainable operations.
An investment focused on the future
One thing, however, is certain: the land was not acquired to remain unused. It was purchased with a clear long-term perspective – development, investment and continued growth in Denmark.
“If we want to continue producing in Denmark, we must be willing to invest with a long-term perspective. This purchase is part of that decision.”
– Henrik Immerkær Ohm, CEO
