About us
Terranova Solar is the second largest solar park of Belgium. Located on a former gypsum waste dump. This waste dump has been sanitized and closed off ten years ago. On that waste dump a 16.7 MW solar park was installed providing energy to almost 4000 family’s since 2012.
In cooperation with the province East-Flanders an educational center Fabriek Energiek is set on site providing education about green energy and guided tours.
Terranova Solar has the intention to further develop this former brownfield into a green energy hub including green energy production, energy storage and the production of green hydrogen.
The majority of the produced energy is injected in the public net. However we have 2 wastewater treatment plants are on site, a 3th is being built. During periods of low energy production, electricity is purchased from the grid. This results in a very low cosPhi-factor and penalties from the grid operator.
About the Storage Challenge
In a phase 1, Terranova Solar is looking for an energy storage solution that can increase the self-consumption of the wastewater treatment plants on site and increase the cosPhi-factor to avoid grid penalties. The usable capacity for this solution is estimated at 320 kWh.
So to conclude? We want:
more self-consumption of green electricity
avoid grid penalties because of low cosPhi-factor
a stable production of green hydrogen
and a more feasible business case
We’re looking for the ideal partner to further convert the former brownfield into a local green energy hub. Fill in the application form today or contact us for more details!
