GOLDBECK SOLAR is delighted to announce the start of construction of the largest solar park in the Noordoostpolder region. With an annual electricity production of around 93,000 MWh, the solar park Noordermeerdijk will generate green electricity equivalent of the power consumption of 37.000 households – which equates to about 74 percent of all households in the Noordoostpolder region. The solar plant with an output of 98 MWp is the first project that GOLDBECK SOLAR is realizing for HVC.
The Noordermeerdijk solar park marks an important milestone in the region’s sustainable energy transition. 161,166 bifacial panels from Trina will be used for the construction of the solar plant, enabling the efficient production of 93,000 MWh per year. The amount of produced clean energy is equivalent of the power consumption of 37.000 households and at the same time save around 40,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The plant is complemented by 14 Batenburg transformer stations, which ensure a reliable feed-in of the electricity generated.
An innovative aspect of the project is the use of the grid connection through ‘cable pooling’. This involves sharing the grid connection with another large solar park on the Westermeerdijk. This solution enables a cost-efficient and resource-saving connection to Tennet’s existing grid station. The Noordermeerdijk solar park is expected to be completed in summer 2025.
When planning Noordermeerdijk, a particular focus was placed on the harmonious integration of the solar park into the dyke landscape. The rows of solar panels will be constructed parallel and aligned to the entire the dyke and around the existing windturbines. “We are very happy to be able to start this large-scale project together and look forward to a great cooperation.” Marcel Dommisse, HVC Manager Sun & Wind.
Eleven local landowners are involved in PV Park Noordermeerdijk as co-initiators and co-owners. The project also contributes to the financing of the Noordoostpolder municipality’s sustainability fund, which supports the municipality on its path to energy neutrality by 2030 and promotes the sustainable development of the region.
“The positive impact on the environment is enormous,” explains Michiel Vanhoutte, COO at GOLDBECK SOLAR. “Thanks to the Noordermeerdijk solar park, around 93,000 MWh of green electricity can be produced, and CO2 emissions can be greatly reduced. We need to create positive examples of solar energy, and we have clearly succeeded here: this solar park fits perfectly into the landscape, makes efficient use of existing grid connections and involves the local communities. We are convinced that we can achieve energy independence in Europe with solar power plants like this.”
