Energi Innovation is a solar EPC and operations-and-maintenance contractor from Vejen in southern Denmark (Energi Innovation ApS, founded 2006) that has worked in Portugal since 2017. It operates from Lisbon through ENIPT Construction, Unipessoal Lda, a wholly owned subsidiary of the group’s holding company, Energi Innovation Holding A/S, and in 2023 was building Parque Solar Escalabis, a 210 MW, roughly €100 million solar plant on about 518 hectares in Santarém and Cartaxo.
Energi Innovation describes itself as an EPC and O&M contractor for utility-scale photovoltaic plants, covering project development, engineering, procurement, construction, technical and commercial management and maintenance; among recent work it lists the Vandel solar park in Denmark (phases of 75 MWp and 37.5 MWp) “as well as several photovoltaic projects in Portugal”. Its Portuguese office is at Avenida da República 44 in Lisbon, listed on the group website under the name ENIPT Construction, Unipessoal Lda. That company was incorporated on 15 April 2019 to build solar power plants, and the holding company’s 2025 annual report lists it as a wholly owned subsidiary of Energi Innovation Holding A/S and the group’s only Portuguese subsidiary. A second company at the same address with the same solar-construction object, Enipt Santarém, Unipessoal Lda (NIF 516397834), was incorporated on 26 March 2021 (racius records merger filings for it and for ENIPT Construction in June 2023), and the Danish operating company has a registered Portuguese branch, Energi Innovation ApS – Sucursal em Portugal (NIF 980613973). The oldest of these Portuguese companies, Energi Innovation APSW Iberia, Unipessoal Lda (NIF 514500697), was incorporated on 19 July 2017.
Its best-documented Portuguese job is Parque Solar Escalabis, beside the A1 motorway’s Cartaxo junction. In May 2023 the regional weekly O Mirante reported that Energi Innovation, “operating in Portugal since 2017”, was building the plant for promoter Escalabis Solar, a Porto-based company owned by an investment fund: 210 MW on about 518 hectares across the Cartaxo and Santarém municipalities, roughly €100 million of private investment, on land leased from the Altri group and previously partly under eucalyptus, with power delivered to REN’s Santarém substation. The project replaced three previously licensed plants (Alforzemel, Encarnado and Casal do Paul). It was contested: in March 2023 the environmental group Quercus objected to the felling of about 200 cork oaks, and the forestry institute ICNF said it had authorised the felling of 190 isolated cork oaks. Energi Innovation’s Portuguese finance director, Marino Maduro, told O Mirante the company planned a local maintenance team and a local spare-parts store for the plant’s estimated 30-year life.
Energi Innovation is a Danish contractor exporting construction capability rather than capital to Portugal’s solar build-out: Escalabis was promoted by a fund-owned company, while the Vejen firm was its construction contractor, hiring locally. The project also shows the friction utility-scale solar now meets in rural Portugal — cork-oak protection, landscape impact and objections to converting farm and forestry land — which any Nordic developer or contractor entering the market has to plan for.
2025 accounts — The Danish operating company, Energi Innovation ApS, reported a net loss of DKK 16.5 million for 2025 and an average of 28 employees; its parent, Energi Innovation Holding A/S, reported a net profit of DKK 1.2 million and said the group had been restructured in 2025 with mergers and closures of business units in Denmark and Portugal. Energi Innovation ApS also carries a DKK 53.9 million long-term receivable for the delivery of a photovoltaic park in Portugal, which it expects to convert into a warranty bond.
November 2025 — A dissolution and liquidation filing is registered for Energi Innovation APSW Iberia, Unipessoal Lda, the oldest of the group’s Portuguese companies; ENIPT Construction remains the group’s listed Portuguese office.
Correction, 9 October 2026: An earlier version of this profile said Energi Innovation owned or developed the Avanca (15 MWac) and Esqueira (5 MWac) solar projects and a Benfica project, and that its Lisbon office hosted a group “Solar Competence Center”. The Avanca and Esgueira projects in the Aveiro district belong to another Danish company, Eurowind Energy, which announced the start of their construction in December 2025 (SolarQuarter, 22 December 2025), and we could not verify the Benfica and Solar Competence Center claims for Energi Innovation, so we have removed them.
Correction, 12 October 2026: An earlier version of this profile said Energi Innovation ApS reported 34 employees for 2025. Its 2025 annual report gives an average of 28; 34 is the latest headcount in the Danish CVR register. We have also changed the company’s name to its own spelling, Energi Innovation.
