Ameland is working with a large number of other parties on the development of a ‘Virtual Power Plant’. Large and smaller installations are connected to this platform, including generation, storage, conversion and users, with the aim of matching the supply and demand of sustainable energy as best as possible.
European project
It is one of the European projects in which the municipality of Ameland participates to share knowledge and learn from other leaders to achieve a smart energy grid. Meetings are held annually for this purpose, including in 2023 on Ameland.
Milestones
As part of the project a battery was installed by SuWoTec at the Nature Centre on Ameland. The battery enables the Nature Centre to store solar energy generated by its 240 PV panels. This enhances the efficiency of the use of renewable energy. Ianos monitors the battery. THe findings will help to realise a future-proof fossil free energy system.
