Grootste zonnepark van Nederland krijgt financiering rond

Novar completed the financing of the largest solar park in the Netherlands, Zonnepark Eekerpolder, located in Groningen. The EPC-contract to build this large-scale solar farm has been awarded to BELECTRIC, one of Europe's leading service providers in the development, construction, and operation of solar power plants. Jeroen Gorissen extensively advised and assisted BELECTRIC’s team during the negotiations and closing of the EPC-contract. Esther Jantosch, Head of Sales Central Europe at BELECTRIC, comments: 

“We have been working with Jeroen for some years now and asked him for support once our bid had been accepted by Novar. We’d like to thank him for his extensive support on this project. His tireless work at any hour and on short notice as well as his perseverance, and expertise enabled our team to accomplish a successful closing of the EPC-contract.”

Zonnepark Eekerpolder, with a capacity of nearly 200 MWp and an investment of over EUR100 million, marks a major milestone in advancing the Dutch energy transition.  The solar park spans more than 160 hectares, with construction beginning coming February 2025. The project emphasizes collaboration with local communities and authorities, ensuring landscape integration, biodiversity enhancement, and public accessibility, including new cycling routes and open green spaces.

Zonnepark Eekerpolder is part of an innovative energy landscape that combines solar energy with future battery storage located in the center of an operating wind farm. In the project area also a high-voltage distribution station is under construction by Novar to alleviate grid congestion, enabling efficient energy distribution and supporting regional sustainability goals.
