The preparation phase
A project of this scale would not have been possible without the support of external partners. Thanks to our cooperation with ProfiNRG, we were able to implement the solar plant at our Hoogtij site.
Before the installation could begin, we first had to ensure that all electrical installations were suitable for connecting the modules. The stability of the roof structures also had to be checked. This ensured that the roofs could support the additional weight of the systems.
The installation and impact of the solar plant
Thanks to careful planning and the cooperation of everyone involved, the installation work was carried out without significantly affecting normal operations. The installation work was successfully completed on 15 March 2024.
The electricity generated has been fed into the grid since the end of March. With a total of 2,760 solar panels installed across three roofs, the solar plant is an important part of the energy infrastructure at our Hoogtij site.
Plans for the future
The expansion of solar installations at our sites is continuing.
“I hope that we will also be able to install a solar plant in Amsterdam,” says Eric Asselman, General Manager of Vollers Holland B.V. However, as we rent the warehouses there, discussions with the landlord are still ongoing.
There are also developments at our site in Antwerp, where the installation of approximately 1,750 solar panels is currently underway.
We are pleased to continue implementing concrete projects at our sites and to further develop our energy infrastructure step by step.
