The province of Gelderland sees the closure of the De Hoop paper factory – two years ago now – as an opportunity to help the other companies in Eerbeek. The paper factory had a connection to the 150 kV grid of TenneT, with a contracted capacity of 18.5 MW. “This is not being used now, while a power supply of 100 MW is being sought for the entire province,” the province said in a statement. The Provincial Council also prefers this over a new factory at that location. Editor Joep Westerveld tells us more about it.
