Lelystad
ON SITE
A park built in a polder below sea level, where every foundation was a test in itself.
Lelystad lies in Flevoland, the polder reclaimed from the Zuiderzee: sixty-five years ago the ground the modules now stand on was still five metres under water. The plant was built in two phases totalling 42 MWp, the first in operation since May 2019 and the second completed in the summer of 2020.
This site's challenge is entirely underground. The loose polder soil makes driving foundations critical, and during excavation demolition rubble from old farm buildings came to light, requiring additional foundation work across several parts of the field.
The investor is the Dutch company Solarvation, with a citizen participation scheme starting at 25 euros. The second phase was awarded to GOLDBECK SOLAR again after the first collaboration.
