Together with the municipality of Alkmaar, the permitting experts from the EIP have developed a quick scan to determine the permitting needs for your project. At the EIP, there is more possible without a lengthy procedure than you might think. Also, the special safety zones available are attractive for industry with high demands. Get in touch to get more information about the possibilities.

The province of Noord-Holland is leveraging its climate, location and research community to be a leader in areas from seed genetics to renewable energy. Unsurprisingly, this has had investors sitting up and taking notice.

The Energy Innovation Park is a major part of the Boekelermeer, which has been awarded the national price for best industrial park 2015.

TAQA, the international energy company from Abu Dhabi, has completed its Gas Storage Bergermeer facility in the Netherlands at the Energy Innovation park, now the largest third-party access gas storage in Europe. TAQA will start injecting customers’ gas into the reservoir tomorrow at full capacity in preparation for the winter heating season.

“The successful launch of Bergermeer is a demonstration of our renewed and strengthened focus on efficiency and operational excellence,” said His Excellency Saeed Al-Hajeri, Chairman of TAQA. “This state-of-the-art facility is the outcome of the strong and long-lasting partnership between the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and some of the world’s leading gas companies. Our combined efforts will improve the security of energy supplies for the European people for decades to come.”

Operated by TAQA, the underground storage facility provides gas suppliers with the flexibility required to match fluctuations in demand and help improve security of gas supply throughout Europe. With a capacity of 46 terawatt hours (4.1 billion cubic metres), enough to supply 2.5 million Dutch households for a year, Gas Storage Bergermeer doubles the Netherlands’ seasonal gas storage capacity.

“Gas Storage Bergermeer represents excellence in the development of large energy infrastructure projects and we are proud we delivered our commitment to complete this project safely, on schedule and within budget,” said Edward LaFehr, Chief Operating Officer of TAQA. “As an active member of the local community we look forward to operating our new, world class gas storage facility safely and reliably for the long term.”

A majority of Bergermeer’s capacity is available according to the EU’s third-party access rules set out in its gas directive. The rules help ensure all market participants access ‎to the storage which helps to increase competition and create a more effective integrated European gas market.
The International Energy Agency, the intergovernmental organisation that coordinates national energy security policies, has commended TAQA for the launch, calling it an important milestone for the creation of the integrated European Energy Union. “The EU is the largest energy importer in the world and the growing dependence on a limited number of gas supply sources is leaving the region vulnerable to supply disruptions,” said Maria van der Hoeven,

Executive Director of the International Energy Agency who will inaugurate the facility in Alkmaar tomorrow. “The investment in Gas Storage Bergermeer has helped improve resilience and is an important milestone for the creation of the integrated European Energy Union.”

Located near the city of Alkmaar, Gas Storage Bergermeer consists of the depleted Bergermeer gas reservoir, a gas treatment facility and connecting pipeline network. Construction started in 2012 and took more than 3,000,000 work hours to complete. More than 8,300 people worked on the project which started limited commercial operations in April 2014. TAQA has developed the project together with the Netherlands state-owned oil and gas company EBN.

Gas Storage Bergermeer is fully contracted for the 2015/2016 storage season running from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016. TAQA will auction capacity for the 2016 storage season in September 2015. The facility’s launching customers include EDF, Gazprom, Statoil and Vattenfall.

In the coming year, the Dutch government stimulates companies to use more heat from waste or renewable sources. The Energy Innovation Park houses a large heating provider (HVC) to supply heat to the buildings.

Connection to the heating results in a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. Who chooses connection delivers so unnoticed and a significant contribution to a better climate can count on a highly reliable source of heat at a competitive rate.

As of now people with a good idea in the field of sustainable energy can go to Incubator Duurzame Energie Alkmaar (IDEA) for the realisation of a concept and develop an independent company. IDEA is established in the Inholland building (educational institute) in Alkmaar and has the goal to support innovative startups in the area of energy.

Wind turbines, tidal energy, houses that produce more energy than consume. Produce gas and oil from garbage, but also from plastics, cosmetics and food. This all fits a new economy in which sustainability asks for new markets and new products. The companies that together form IDEA, want to speed up developments by linking the ‘diamant pentagon’, which are entrepreneurs, education, research, government and the region.
