Greencells has signed another EPC contract in the Netherlands with long-time partner and investor Kronos Solar Projects. The new 14 MW photovoltaic project in Voorst, which is expected to start in Q2 2021, brings the EPC portfolio contracted by Kronos Solar in the Netherlands to 75 MW for 2021, consisting of four projects.
Consistently drive the cost degression of PV power plants
With this new agreement, Greencells continues its proven EPC partnership with Kronos Solar in the Netherlands. Since 2019, 55 MW have already been successfully implemented together. The latest addition is the 16 MW power plant in Zwolle, which was connected to the grid beginning of December this year.
"The cooperation with Greencells is not only very reliable, in Greencells we also found a partner who helps us to innovatively and consistently drive the cost degression of the power plants in order to remain competitive in the future," says Alexander Arcache, Managing Director of Kronos.
