Vattenfall is building a new hybrid energy park, consisting of solar panels, wind turbines and batteries at Haringvliet in the Netherlands. The total capacity is 60 MW, enough to deliver renewable energy to 40,000 Dutch households. The total investment of the planned hybrid facility is EUR61 million (US$67.8 million).

The first stage of the building work on the energy park involves installing a total of six wind turbines in the north of Goeree-Overflakkee island between Middelharnis and Stad aan 't Haringvliet. The power output of the wind farm is expected to be in the region of 22 MW, which is enough to supply green electricity to around 27,000 households. The maximum height of the wind turbines is 150 meters, and preparatory work has now begun.

Once the wind turbines have been installed, the solar farm can then be built, consisting of 124,000 solar panels with a total of 38 MW, enough to supply green electricity to around 12,000 households. The batteries, supplied by BMW and with a capacity of 12 MWh will be installed in 12 shipping containers on the solar farm. The energy park is expected to be fully operational in September 2020.
