88,000 modules installed inside an existing wind farm: Eneco's largest solar plant in the Netherlands.
The Kabeljauwbeek park at Ossendrecht is Eneco's largest solar plant in the Netherlands and the group's first site where solar and wind share the same ground. Around 88,000 modules were installed beneath and within the existing wind farm, reusing its grid connection.
It is a technical choice before a symbolic one: sun and wind peaks do not coincide, so a single connection can serve two plants without overloading. On site it meant working from a detailed 3D model to thread between the existing buried power lines, and designing some areas to be dismountable so the turbines can be maintained in future.
The park started producing just before New Year and has been exporting to the grid since 1 January 2025. The electricity powers KPN's fixed networks, fibre and 5G mobile network.
