Solar Park Noordoostpolder is part of a 16‑kilometre, gigawatt‑scale renewable corridor that integrates wind farms, battery storage, and the largest contiguous solar cluster in the Netherlands.
What sets the project apart is its close collaboration with landowners, public authorities and other developers. By integrating existing wind farms with regional solar fields, it creates an energy corridor designed to meet local demand sustainably.
Integration into landscapes
Alderman Van Amersfoort of the Municipality of Noordoostpolder said: “What makes Solar Park Noordoostpolder remarkable is the way in which Ampyr Solar Europe, together with the municipality and the developers of the neighbouring solar parks, has integrated the project into the surrounding landscape. The challenge was to merge the three developers’ projects into one large, unified solar park.”

The broader cluster will form a hybrid renewable energy facility with a capacity of one gigawatt (1,000 MW), connected to a single TenneT high‑voltage substation. The scale underpins the acceleration of the energy transition while alleviating grid congestion, an increasingly critical challenge across Europe.
Powering industry and competitiveness
A central element of the project is the supply of renewable electricity to Dutch industry. A significant share of the output and Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) will be contracted to major industrial players including Rockwool and VW Kraftwerk GmbH. This measure is aimed at supporting the decarbonisation of key industries while strengthening the Netherlands’ position as an attractive, future‑oriented investment location.
Storage and co-location seen as remedy for fragile PPAs
Kenneth Rotvig Dupont, Energy Category Director at Rockwool: “Through our contract with Ampyr Solar Europe, Solar Park Noordoostpolder will guarantee a secure supply of green energy for our Dutch operations over the next ten years. This delivers both certainty and stability. For us, and for many stakeholders, the opening of this solar park marks an important step in decarbonising Dutch industry.” (hcn)
