Solar panel installation drives forward Urenco’s net zero ambition

With the installation of 7452 solar panels on the roof of a cylinder storage facility at Urenco Nederland, we are driving forward our net zero strategy. The installation covers 60,000m2 and the first panels are now connected to the grid in Almelo, the Netherlands.

Another 1400 panels will be installed in the Urenco Nederland car park this summer. All these panels will generate more than 3MWH of electricity - at peak times the solar power generated will equal 15% of Urenco’s energy consumption in the Netherlands. 

The solar panel project signifies a major milestone in our net zero journey, and more is in the pipeline. Urenco Nederland is currently investigating whether residual heat produced from our operations can be used for an internal and external heating network, which would also contribute to a reduction in our carbon emissions.
