Norwegian energy company Statkraft and Sunvest, a developer of nature-inclusive and agri-solar parks with battery storage, have signed their first agreements in the Netherlands. According to Statkraft’s announcement of 11 November 2026, the deals cover the offtake of electricity generated at Sunvest’s solar parks and the optimisation of its battery projects.

Four parks under a framework agreement

The power purchase agreements (PPAs), part of a framework agreement, cover output from four solar parks: the operating 11.4 MW Lievelde park near Lichtenvoorde, the operating 49 MW Zuidbroek park, and two projects still to be built, Zwaagdijk (7.6 MW) and Zomereiken (14.3 MW). The contracts, covering 82.3 MW in total, run for 10 years.

Tolling deal for the Zuidbroek battery

Statkraft has also started optimising the 10 MW / 20 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) co-located at Zuidbroek under a tolling contract. The company says the agreements will help Sunvest develop and scale its pipeline of solar and battery projects in the Netherlands, while for Statkraft they are a first step towards becoming a leading provider of market solutions in the Dutch market for renewable generators, flexibility owners and large energy users.

“Only the beginning”

Thomas Dietz, Country Manager of Sunvest Netherlands, said Statkraft’s expertise fits the company’s strategy of combining large-scale solar with battery storage, and that Sunvest had found a reliable partner that shares its view on combining generation and storage locally. Pieter Schipper, Managing Director of Statkraft Markets GmbH, called the partnership an important milestone in building Statkraft’s role as a market integrator, said the company sees strong demand for solutions that help integrate renewables into the Dutch grid, and added that the cooperation with Sunvest is “only the beginning”. Statkraft has been active in the Netherlands since 1998 and employs about 6,000 people in 20 countries.
