RE100 member DSM has expanded its Belvidere solar field from 20 to 66 acres, tripling the size and the solar output of the project.
The new solar field will power DSM’s Belvidere production plant and will at peak sunlight generate more solar power than the plant’s energy consumption. This will allow the company to sell back enough excess energy to the grid to power 406 homes for a year.
Sam Kimmins, Head of RE100, The Climate Group, said: “DSM is a prime example of an RE100 member investing in pragmatic and impactful projects by cutting emissions from its operations and greening the grid to the benefit of local communities at the same time.
“By expanding its Belvidere solar field to triple the size, DSM sends a powerful message that the business case for renewable power continues to grow – showing the wider business community that the energy transition is happening now and won’t slow down.”
