“Zonnepark Broekstraat” solar park will be realized with DAL project financing
Deutsche Anlagen-Leasing GmbH & Co. KG (DAL) is supporting another sustainable energy project in the Netherlands: the “Zonnepark Broekstraat” solar park, whose construction has started recently. The park is operated by Prowind, an initiator of community projects for sustainable energy generation. The solar park will be commisioned by mid-2021 and produce renewable energy for around 5,000 households.
DAL, the competence centre for renewable energies of the Sparkassen Finanzgruppe, has successfully implemented the 7th project in the course of the current year. For a period of 15 years, the electricity generated is remunerated through the Dutch SDE+ support program (similar to the German EEG), for which the project successfully applied in the tenders.
„We have very much benefited from DAL's experience in cash flow-related project financing and the integration of public subsidy programs “, says Tim Logtenberg, projectmanager from Prowind. „The backing by a professional partner with a large team of project finance experts, also from one of the largest finance groups in the world and a strong track record, is helpful. The discussions have always been constructive and results-oriented. We aim to continue growing on this basis”.
Prowind’s close cooperation with the residents enabled them to participate in the specific design of the park. Currently, the first talks are in progress with local cooperatives to join the Zonnepark as co-owners. This enables the residents of Klarenbeek and the surrounding area to participate financially in the Zonnepark Broekstraat.
„We like Prowind's approach of involving local citizens in investment projects, because we believe it is a really sustainable way to achieve the transition to a renewable energy supply. That's why we really appreciate the exceptionally good and professional cooperation between DAL and Prowind, "says Antje Gruber, Senior Project Manager / Infrastructure & Supply at DAL.
