The Dutch water management agency plans to install solar panels along
both sides of the A37 highway in Drenthe province, as well as on the
median strip, to cover 300 hectares in total. The project is part of a
plan to build projects on state land, as the domestic PV industry
continues to search for alternative surfaces on which to deploy solar.
The agency is now holding meetings with the Drenthe provincial government and the municipalities of Coevorden, Emmen, and Hoogeveen – as well as network operator Enexis Groep and distribution system operator Rendo – to discuss how the solar park will be developed.
The project, which is part of a government program to build renewable energy pilot projects on state land, will involve the installation of PV modules along either side of a 40-kilometer (25 miles) stretch of the highway, in addition to solar panels on the median strip between the two lanes. The project will span roughly 300 hectares in total, and will be built without having a strong visual impact on the surrounding landscape, Rijkswaterstaat explained. The agency conducted a preliminary spatial exploration study for the project in 2016.
