German company Pfalzsolar has secured a contract from Dutch waste management outfit HVC Group to build a 34MW solar farm in the Netherlands.
The Almere project is located in the Dutch province of Flevoland and will take about four months to construct starting on 21 March, Pfalzsolar said.
The company said it will build the solar park across 25 hectares using an east-west mounting system to “make optimum use of the area potential”.
In preparation for the build, Pfalzsolar said it had to drain the site as the location is four metres below sea level.
Almere will generate about 30 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year once operational.
Zuyderzon Almere, a subsidiary of HVC Group and Sunwatt, will operate the facility and receive a feed-in tariff determined in accordance with the Dutch SDE+ subsidy programme.
Pfalzsolar managing director Lars Josten said: “This project is, in many ways, a special one for us. It is not only our largest project to date, but also another milestone in our cooperation with HVC – a partner whose commitment to renewable energies is unparalleled for us.”
The company has built three solar farms in recent months with a total capacity of 9MW.
