How will this solar farm contribute to the energy transition?
De Watering will generate about 12 MWp that will enable it to provide green power to over 3,000 households. The solar field De Watering of almost twenty hectares is a good step towards a sustainable energy supply for Coevorden.
Residents and businesses are broadly involved in the project
Residents and businesses in the municipality are broadly involved in the project. For example, businesses and residents can invest through Solar PanelsDelen, local businesses are involved in the implementation and work experience projects and school projects are linked to it. Coevorder parties have joined forces and formed a consortium under the direction of the municipality of Coevorden to implement the plans.

Coevorden wants to contribute 0.470 TWh to the collective goal of 3.45 TWh in Drenthe. Municipality of Coevorden has created the conditions for generating green energy.
