On the Warvenweg in Farsum, Novar has constructed solar farm Vuilstort Farmsum. The solar farm was built on a former landfill. The farm of more than 20 hectares was put into operation in October 2021.
This solar farm is located in the municipality of Eemsdelta in the province of Groningen. It is located on an old landfill on the Warvenweg in Farmsum and therefore has a height difference of about 8 meters. The farm is more than two kilometers south of the industrial area of Delfzijl and about 650 meters south of the N992. Around the landfill are the windmills of the Delfzijl-Zuid wind farm, making the solar farm fit in well with the current energy landscape.
This solar farm will generate approximately 12 MWp of electricity and can provide green power to over 3,000 households. In doing so, the solar farm will contribute to achieving the goals of RES region Groningen.
Delfzijl residents have been given the opportunity to participate. An additional neighbor benefit was even introduced, making it even more favorable to participate. Through the ZonnepanelenDelen platform, participants could invest and receive returns from the solar farm for 15 years.
The province of Groningen is one of 30 energy regions working together to achieve climate goals. Together with the other municipalities and the Province of Groningen, the Eems Delta Municipality has adopted the Groningen Regional Energy Strategy. In RES 1.0, it has been agreed that Groningen wants to generate 5.7 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity sustainably through wind turbines and solar farms by 2030.
