Anesco has been awarded two contracts by Shell New Energies to design and construct two solar farms in the Netherlands, with a combined generation capacity of 26 MWp.

The first solar farm, a 12 MWp facility, is being constructed in Emmen, in the province of Drenthe in northeast Holland on the site of a former gas works. The second site will be a 14 MWp installation near to the town of Heerenveen, Friesland.

The two sites span an area of approximately 130 acres (52 hectares), with construction expected to take six months once underway. Anesco will work together with Shell New Energy and its stakeholders on a biodiversity enhancement program backed by an on-site scientific research project demonstrating the beneficial co-existence of solar parks and nature-friendly landscaping and site management.

On completion, the Shell New Energy Asset Management team will be supported by Anesco’s operations and maintenance team for an initial two-year period, ensuring the solar farms operate at their optimal efficiency.
