Venlo,
The Netherlands: Scheuten Solar to Install PV System for Partner
Logistics
Scheuten
Solar has concluded a turnkey EPC and maintenance contract for
the installation of nearly 3,000 solar panels with Partner Logistics
for its storage premises in Belgium. Funding is provided by Dexia
Lease.
The
solar panels, with an overall output of 550 kWp, will be installed
on the sloping roof of the Partner Logistics building at Rijkevorsel.
Partner
Logistics is a leading provider of logistic services specialising
in warehousing. The company currently operates twelve warehouses
in the Netherlands, Belgium, England and Russia, from which it
provides services for leading companies in the foodstuffs sector,
among others.
As
is evident from this project, sustainable entrepreneurship is
important for the company. Given the building’s unfavourable situation
as regards solar irradiation, the modules will be placed square
on the angle of the roof slope so as to guarantee optimum irradiation.
Assembly work will start at the beginning of September and is
scheduled for completion in November.
In
the words of Jean-Michel Baetslé (CEO Dexia Lease): “Dexia Lease,
as market leader in the financing of PV systems in Flanders, is
delighted to be able to support this example of sustainable undertaking
together with Partner Logistics and Scheuten Solar. This project
is possible thanks to the support of the European Investment Bank.”
Anton
Mauritz (COO, Partner Logistics) said: “A sustainable supply chain
is of importance for our customers. We are happy, in cooperation
with Scheuten, to reduce significantly the carbon footprint of
our coldstore at Rijkevorsel and thus be a good partner for our
customers in the field of sustainability.”
The
roof system installation is one of a series of successful projects
completed by Scheuten Solar in Belgium in recent years. Ad Verbaas,
Director Project Realization stated that: “The installation of
the roof system, with its nearly 3,000 solar panels, will take
only three months and will be operationally connected to the grid
before the end of the year. Cooperation with such reputable parties
as Dexia Lease and Partner Logistics shows that Scheuten Solar
is also the right partner in Belgium.”
