About this project

In Nieuwleusen, a study is being held to assess the feasibility of establishing a charging hub for electric lorries, vans, and construction equipment at the industrial estates De Grift and De Meele. This charging hub would have a capacity of up to 2 Megawatts.

Due to grid congestion, there is currently no grid capacity available for the charging hub. Therefore, we are exploring:

• whether it is possible to connect the charging hub behind the meter of wind farm Veur de Wind, so that sustainably and locally generated electricity can be used as efficiently as possible;

• whether it is possible to install solar panels on the rooftops of local businesses and also use this electricity for the charging hub;

• whether the use of a battery is feasible, which can store energy when there is a surplus of wind and solar power, and release it when generation is lower. This ensures the charging hub remains available and provides a solution to grid congestion.

The project launched on 26 February 2025, and the study is expected to take two to three months.

The core group consists of various entrepreneurs and the local energy cooperative Nieuwleusen Synergie. The municipality of Dalfsen is also involved, as well as BAM and Windmatch, who are sharing their expertise. Forsyn, a coordinator in the energy transition, is guiding the process as project facilitator.

Ventolines’ role
Ventolines plays a key role in the feasibility study for the core group Sustainable Business Park Nieuwleusen. We are analysing the technical, financial, and legal feasibility of the project. To do so, we are drawing on the expertise of our Development, Financial Advisory, Legal, and Contracting & Construction departments.
