BayWa r.e., GroenLeven commissions 41.1 MWp Sellingen and 29.8 MWp Uivermeertjes floating solar parks

BayWa r.e., together with its Dutch subsidiary GroenLeven, has recently commissioned two floating solar photovoltaic parks in the Netherlands.

The 41.1 MWp Sellingen park and 29.8 MWp Uivermeertjes park will generate together enough electricity to supply more than 20,000 households. The solar projects are built in the province of Groningen and consist of 76,600 solar panels.

Sellingen and Uivermeertjes have been designed to ensure minimal impact on the surrounding ecology and biodiversity. Both Floating-PV parks have been built on the deepest part of the lake to protect the flora and fauna in the banks. They utilize unique systems, which have no negative effects on the surrounding environment, as found in recent studies by Hanze University of Applied Sciences as well as ongoing research from Buro Bakker/AKTB.
