01What is being requested
The project concerns the realization and operation of a solar park along the A37 over a section of 42 km, including a maintenance obligation of 30 years for the verges and junctions.
This market consultation is intended to prepare for the tender procedure of the project ‘Drentse Zonneroute A37’, to find a suitable future operator of a solar park along national highway A37. The start of this tender procedure is anticipated for Q4 2025/Q1 2026. The market consultation has been organized by the joint initiators of the project, namely: the Provincie Drenthe, the municipalities of Hoogeveen, Emmen and Coevorden, the grid operators Enexis B.V. and N.V. RENDO, the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf (RVB), Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) and the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO).
02Strategic insight
Prepare for a complex assignment where technical execution and landscape integration converge. Ensure a strong focus on local ownership and participation aspects as requested by the energy umbrella organization. Anticipate the strict realization obligation by mapping out risks regarding permits and grid capacity at an early stage.
