The Challenge

STABLE POWER FOR A FACILITY THE GRID COULDN'T SERVE.

A logistics client planned the construction of a 56,000 m² automated warehouse near Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport — operating 24/7 with a peak load of 3.5 MW and annual consumption of 15 GWh.

The local distribution grid lacked the capacity to cover the warehouse's demand. While a grid connection was technically possible, it could not serve as the sole dependable energy source. The challenge: create a sustainable, independent power system that ensures stable operations at all times.

The guiding principle was long-term sustainability in both quantity and cost of electricity, with priority on local green resources.

Rooftop PV — 8.7 MWp dual-orientation panels
BESS — grid stabilization, load shifting and backup
Gas engines + biofuel backup for dispatchable power
