From Fuel cells to Energy Transition

With the completion of our solar park, Ameland reached the maximum feed-in capacity of the local grid. The ability to keep the local grid stable was at its limit.

(All with just 1 project! )

Ameland EnergyNet:

Futureproof, reproducible energy network with supply and

demand in near balance by smart management and flexible

infrastructure

EnergyNet Ameland

• Ambition is to be 15 years ahead in the Energy transition: Reduce the CO2 emissions with 95% by 2030

• Works hard on an affordable and reliant, CO2 neutral energy system

• Leads by example in the Netherlands and Europe

Connecting the industry with local grid

Cluster of projects:

- 3 MWp DC solar park - High pressure fermenter - 1,5 – 3 MW electrolyzer - 3 MW accupack for local balancing and

national balancing

500 kW TidalKite (Seaqurrent) for sustainable base load production of green energy.

1 MW Fuel cell connected to a local heat net on the largest recreational park

Clever Grid connection upgrades to prevent additional cables

Island wide residential energy savings campain

How do we involve the residents

Households/families/companies reached with projects:

• 80 bondholders of Zonnepark Ameland BV;

• 45 methane fuel cells installed;

• 140 recommendations provided to households from the Sustainable Construction Desk;

• 95 saving/generation measures for dwellings – municipal subsidies;

• 35 saving/generation measures for dwellings – provincial subsidies;

• 120 saving measures for municipal rented accommodation;

• 133 hybrid heat pumps installed in dwellings;

• 60 participants in energy charrettes;

• 300 members and 1,000 customers of the Ameland Energy Cooperative.

Of the island's 1,600 households, we have had talks at their kitchentable with over
