Sunvest, Enovos Green Power and Demea Sustainable Investment announce today that the shares in Zonnepark Lanakerveld B.V. have been transferred to Enovos Green Power and Demea Sustainable Investment. Together, the new shareholders will continue the construction and operation of the solar park and the battery storage system.
Zonnepark Lanakerveld
At the end of 2019, the municipality of Maastricht launched a public tender for the development of renewable energy on the municipal plots on the border with Lanaken. Sunvest won the tender with its plan for Zonnepark Lanakerveld and subsequently carried out the entire project development up to the start of construction. In doing so, Sunvest obtained the necessary permits, completed participation processes, contracted the grid connection and developed a new cable route. Following a careful and intensive process, Zonnepark Lanakerveld is officially ‘Ready to Build’ (RTB). The project covers approximately 41 hectares and has a total installed PV capacity of approximately 60.4 MWp. Expected annual production amounts to more than 55,000 MWh of renewable electricity, comparable to the electricity consumption of at least 18,000 households. In addition, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will be realised with a capacity of 25 MW and a storage capacity of 100 MWh. This makes it possible to temporarily store locally generated electricity and supply it to the electricity grid at a later time. The design also includes multiple hectares of nature development, green zones and measures to strengthen biodiversity. Of the total PV capacity, approximately 15.4 MWp is intended for local participation via the Maastricht energy cooperative Maasstroom.
A shared vision for the future
All parties involved emphasise that the transfer proceeded in good cooperation, partly thanks to a shared vision on the energy transition, sustainability and respect for the surrounding area.
Bob Schulte and René Hanssen, management of Sunvest, explain the sale: “We are extremely proud that the Sunvest team fully developed Zonnepark Lanakerveld and was able to bring it up to the start of construction. For us it was very important to now transfer the project to parties that share our ambitions and have the drive to operate it successfully. In Enovos Green Power and Demea Sustainable Investment we have found strong partners. We are therefore passing on the baton with confidence.”
Frank Kusters, Managing Director of Enovos Green Power, explains: “With this acquisition, Enovos Green Power and Demea Sustainable Investment combine their complementary long-term expertise at Lanakerveld. Enovos Green Power contributes its experience in the development, construction supervision, operation and management of renewable energy projects. Demea Sustainable Investment invests through the Climate Infrastructure Fund in European infrastructure that demonstrably contributes to the energy and climate transition. Energy production, safety, landscape quality, biodiversity and local embedding remain the central principles for the construction and further realisation of the project.”
Philippe Detours, Maning Partner at Demea : “Demea Sustainable Investment is very pleased to be involved in this exciting project alongside Enovos Green Power, and deeply honored by the confidence that Sunvest and the Municipality of Maastricht have placed in us through this transaction. Our Climate Infrastructure Fund is aiming to invest across Europe into projects contributing to the electrification and the decarbonization of our economy. Zonnepark Lanakerveld is a perfect fit for us. We are looking forward our future collaboration with Enovos Green Power and all stakeholders to make this project a success.”
Further planning
Enovos Green Power and Demea Sustainable Investment have assumed responsibility for the further realisation of the project. Sunvest supports a careful handover and will remain involved in the project in the coming weeks. ProfiNRG, a sister company of Sunvest, is the construction contractor and started work at the beginning of August. ProfiNRG is the point of contact for questions about the construction or any nuisance resulting from the works. For general and substantive questions about the project, please contact Enovos Green Power.
