- Eight solar farms with a total output of 128 megawatts peak (MWp) commissioned
- Contract signed with Low Carbon for a further 17 MWp

BELECTRIC, Member of Elevion Group, commissions eight solar farms with a total capacity of 128 MWp in the Netherlands. This strengthens the company's position as one of the leading EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) service providers on the Dutch market.

With the commissioning of a solar farm in the county of Echt-Susteren in the Netherlands, BELECTRIC completes an eight-part success story. The German solar company has commissioned eight solar power plants with a total capacity of 128 MWp for its customer Low Carbon, a global renewable energy company. The plants are located in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland, Groningen, Limburg, Overijssel, and Utrecht. Even though 2023 was the wettest year on record in the Netherlands and the massive rainfall in autumn affected the construction works, the smooth cooperation of all parties involved led to success. BELECTRIC's Operations & Maintenance team is now taking over, as BELECTRIC is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of the eight projects. In addition, the German company has succeeded in securing a contract for another solar farm with an output of 17 MWp in the Netherlands. This reinforces BELECTRIC's position as one of the leading EPC service providers on the Dutch market. To date, the company has installed more than 300 MWp of photovoltaic capacity in the country and will soon add almost another 100 MWp.

Steven Hughes, Managing Director of Portfolio Management at Low Carbon, comments: “We are pleased to have commissioned this large portfolio of solar projects, which will support the Dutch government’s efforts to decarbonise the grid. Our long-term partnership with BELECTRIC has been core to this success, and we look forward to working together on the delivery of further projects in the coming months as we continue the fight against climate change.”

The construction works for the commissioned solar farms were focused on the conservation of soils. As the challenging soil conditions on many of the project sites did not offer sufficient stability, the usual driving of the piles for the substructure was not sufficient. Following numerous pull-out tests and analyses, BELECTRIC opted for a special substructure variant with screws that can be removed easily and without leftover material after removal. Thanks to this approach, BELECTRIC helps preserve the health of the soils.

“The fact that Low Carbon selected us to construct these exciting projects speaks volumes about us and our project experience. We have been working successfully with our customer since the beginning of 2022 and look forward to expanding the partnership and helping Low Carbon deliver 20 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030”, explains Dr. Thorsten Blanke, Managing Director at BELECTRIC.
