Ostend Airport
EnergyVision provides Ostend Airport with solar panels
Your attention please
Welcome to Ostend airport. Soon, there will be tens of thousands of solar panels here, providing thousands upon thousands of households with cheap, local green energy. In total, there will be a ground-mounted installation of almost 40 MWp, plus large-scale batteries, which we will be operating for the next 30 years. This is set to become the second largest solar park in the country ever. All the energy generated will be sold to families and companies in the local area, all at a long-term fixed rate.
We had intended to start works sooner (in autumn 2023 as planned), but a large energy company tried to put a spanner in the works through the courts to stop the project going ahead, which proved futile. At first, we thought this was a bit strange, and so – as it turned out – did the courts. A little more patience is needed, but if you find yourself anywhere near the airport in summer 2024, give us a wave!
