Innovative energy storage system reduces CO2 emissions by more than 2 million kilograms per year
Zwolle, December 11, 2024
To compensate for fluctuations and congesTo address the electricity grid in Overijssel, an innovative energy storage system is being built at the floating solar farm on the Bomhofsplas in Zwolle. The integration with the solar farm will allow solar power to be stored locally.geslayers for use at a later date, which contributes to a more stable and sustainable energy system. All contracts were signed in October 2024 and construction has now begun. gestart.
Storage capacity that makes the difference
The floating solar farm, opened in 2020, generates 5,06 TJ of green electricity annually. This project, a battery energy storage system (EOS) with a capacity of 11 MW and 22 MWh of storage, marks an important next step. The system not only improves the balance on the electricity grid but also ensures more efficient use of green energy. The storage technology allows solar energy to be stored during surplus periods and used during peak demand. This strengthens the electricity grid and enables further sustainability improvements.
Partnership and impact
The EOS Bomhofsplas battery project is an initiative of Green Energy Storage (GES) and is made possible in part by energy supplier Greenchoice and financier Energiefonds Overijssel. The system is installed by Privatis andgesLottery tickets for the solar park. The Bomhofsplas is a sand extraction site owned by the landowner, Dekker Groep, which supports the project. Local energy cooperative Blauwvinger Energie will have the opportunity to become a co-owner in the future.
Concrete results:
- CO₂ reduction: 2.168.100 kg less CO₂ is emitted annuallygestoten.
- Green energy generation: The park produces 5,06 TJ of renewable energy.
- Balance on the grid: Efficient use of solar energy through smart storage.
This collaboration represents an important step towards a future-proof energy supply in Overijssel.
