An important investment
Biddinghuizen has a total capacity of 37.6MW and is located on an area of 250,000 square meters. Since September 2021, more than 90,700 bifacial modules have been producing green electricity for 13,700 households. Thus, the solar park saves the emission of 14,600 tons of carbon dioxide every year.
The Biddinghuizen solar park is now part of the Encavis Infrastructure Fund II (EIF II). It is an investment fund for credit institutions, mainly savings banks and cooperatives. With a total investment volume of about €1 billion, investments are made in solar and wind farms.
All of the renewable energy plants in the portfolio generate stable returns and are located in mature markets. Thus, 45% of the photovoltaic and wind power plants are located in Germany. France hosts 24%, the Netherlands 19%, Spain 9% and Finland 3%.
