Global law firm DLA Piper has advised solar park developer, builder, financier and manager TPSolar on reaching Financial Close for the 28.5 MWp ground-mounted Kriekampen Solar Park, located in the Netherlands municipality of Oirschot. This milestone marks a significant step in advancing sustainable energy initiatives in the region.

The Kriekampen Solar Park, a collaborative effort between TPSolar Nederland B.V. and 8 local landowners, spans approximately 25 hectares and is designed to generate sufficient renewable energy to power around 8,400 households annually. The project is a crucial contributor to Oirschot’s ambition of becoming energy-neutral by 2040.

Further, a distinctive aspect of the Kriekampen Solar Park is that the solar park, with the help of a regional fund, will annually contribute a portion of the electricity revenues to the local community.

Gerard Kneppers, partner and head of the Netherlands finance practice at DLA Piper comments: “This project exemplifies how sustainable energy solutions and local partnerships can drive meaningful contributions to a greener future.”
