Ampyr Solar Europe solar farm

SPIE designed and installed a high-voltage substation to connect Ampyr Solar Europe’s solar farm project to the power grid in the Netherlands.

The massive solar farm provides enough energy to annually supply 28,500 households with renewable energy. But such a large-scale power plant requires a high-voltage substation that can transfer that power directly to the grid. SPIE was involved from the project’s start, planning how to connect to the TenneT high-voltage station at Westermeerdijk and devising an optimal configuration for the substation.
The solar farm is located between and next to existing wind turbines. Wind and solar energy complement each other, as sunny weather often means wind is diminished. By connecting both wind and solar to the substation, SPIE is contributing to solving grid congestion and helping the Netherlands reduce CO₂ emissions.
The associated TenneT substation will also host a major 250 MW / 1 GWh BESS in the near future, further strengthening the site’s strategic relevance and long-term value creation for shareholders.
