Dutch companies Eneco, CertiQ, and FlexiDAO will for the first time be carrying out tests with time-based green electricity in the Netherlands.
The pilot project involves a digital link between the Princess Amalia offshore wind farm and an electrode boiler connected to The Hague’s Ypenburg district heating network.
The production and the consumption of green electricity will be measured and certified every hour and a quarter of an hour, Eneco said.
Eneco’s Princess Amalia wind farm has a capacity of 120 MW and is located 23 kilometres from IJmuiden.
The wind farm’s output will power an 12 MW Eneco electrode boiler in Ypenburg, just east of The Hague. Together with a number of gas boilers, this provides heat for the local district heating network.
