Valuepark Terneuzen, the joint venture between Dow Benelux and North Sea Port, has awarded Gutami Holding a contract to build and operate a 50 MW solar park. The 30-hectare solar park will be realised on the Valuepark Terneuzen premises at the Braakmanhaven.
With the solar park's arrival, Dow and North Sea Port are supporting efforts to increase the sustainability of Zeeland's energy supply. The solar park will generate sustainable solar power for over 12,000 households and is expected to be operational in mid-2020.
The site is part of the Valuepark Terneuzen premises at the Braakmanhaven. Thirty hectares of this land will be used to build a solar park that will generate solar power for the next fifteen years. “The green power supply at Valuepark Terneuzen will make the site even more attractive to new businesses looking to set up shop,” explains the Director of Valuepark Terneuzen, Geerten van Dijk.
North Sea Port will have a special role to play in the construction of the solar park. The majority of materials used to build the solar park will be arriving by seagoing ship. These goods can be unloaded in Terneuzen.
In early 2019, the Groningen-based Gutami Holding was contracted to build and operate the new solar park. During the realisation of the park, Gutami Holding will cooperate closely with Honeywell in connection with delivery of the materials.
