Solar Park Eemshaven is starting construction of its solar park
located in Eemshaven in the province of Groningen. The new solar
park will have a capacity of approximately 25 megawatts, which
equates to an average consumption of approximately 8,000 Dutch
households. The subsidy and permit processes as well as the
financing have been successfully completed.
The solar park will be built on 19 hectares of land around the
Vopak Terminal Eemshaven and construction on the site will start in
the first quarter of 2021. According to the current planning, the
first green power will be supplied to the electricity grid in the
third quarter of 2021.
Timo Spaninks, Managing Director at Vopak: "This project fits
well within Vopak's ambition to work with partners to develop
infrastructure solutions for facilitating sustainable energy. It
also enables us to gain more knowledge and experience with
electricity as an energy carrier."
"This solar park is a wonderful collaboration between the
parties involved. And our participation also safeguards the local
character of the project. We are also pleased that companies such
as Vopak and Whitehelm are investing in sustainable energy in our
region, especially in these times. Locally produced green energy is
of great importance to us in making the port area more sustainable
and thus helping the energy transition forward. This is also
reflected in companies that want to establish themselves here,
precisely because of the availability of sustainable energy ”, says
Cas König, CEO of Groningen Seaports.
Wessel Schevernels, Chairman of Vopak Terminal Eemshaven and
Senior Investment Director at Whitehelm: “Whitehelm is delighted to
be able to make a sustainable contribution to Dutch energy security
and the transition towards climate-neutral power production. In
addition to our investment in Vopak Terminal Eemshaven we look
forward to once again partner with Vopak and Groningen Seaports.
The development of Vopak Solar Park Eemshaven fits perfectly in our
policy of being a long-term partner, with respect for both local
needs and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
