Statkraft signs 10-year contracts for four Dutch solar parks and a separate toll on a 10 MW / 20 MWh battery at Zuidbroek - the four parks add to 82.3 MW, the company page prints no euro price, and reNEWS prints July 2027 where that page does not
On 11 November 2026 Statkraft said it signed the first agreements with Sunvest for power from four Dutch solar parks and for optimising battery projects. The parks are Lievelde at 11.4 MW, already operating near Lichtenvoorde, Zuidbroek at 49 MW, already operating, and Zwaagdijk at 7.6 MW and Zomereiken at 14.3 MW, still to be built. The agreements run for 10 years and sit in a framework. Adding the four parks is 82.3 MW, our arithmetic. Statkraft has started optimising the co-located Zuidbroek battery, 10 MW / 20 MWh, under a tolling contract. 20 divided by 10 is 2 hours, our arithmetic. The company page prints no euro price and no toll length. reNEWS the same day prints July 2027 for the two unbuilt parks. The company page does not.
A firm buying solar in the Netherlands can sign for the panels and still hold a separate contract for the battery on one of the sites. This page is that split. It names a developer, not a factory.
On 11 November 2026 Statkraft's Dutch page said it and Sunvest signed the first agreements for power from Sunvest's solar parks and for optimising battery projects. The power purchase agreements sit in a framework and run for 10 years. They cover four parks: Lievelde, 11.4 MW, already operating near Lichtenvoorde; Zuidbroek, 49 MW, already operating; Zwaagdijk, 7.6 MW, still to be built; Zomereiken, 14.3 MW, still to be built. Adding the four is 82.3 MW, our arithmetic. The page does not print 82.3.
The same page says Statkraft has started optimising the co-located battery at Zuidbroek, 10 MW / 20 MWh, under a tolling contract. 20 divided by 10 is 2 hours at full output, our arithmetic. The page does not print two hours. It does not print a euro price for the solar or for the toll. It does not print the toll's length. The 10-year line is the solar agreements. This note does not move that line onto the battery.
reNEWS, the same day, prints the same four sizes, the same 10 MW / 20 MWh battery and the same 10-year solar term. It also prints July 2027 as the commercial operation date for Zwaagdijk and Zomereiken. The company page does not print July 2027.
The signed counterparty on the company page is Sunvest, the developer. The page says Statkraft wants to offer market contracts to generators and to large consumers in the Netherlands. It does not name a factory, a shop or a data centre on these four parks. No workplace meter is on the page.
A 12 November note on this desk records an author's range of about €10 to €15 a megawatt-hour for solar-plus-battery contracts: €10 to €15, with the underlying price blank. That page is not this toll. This toll has no euro price to set beside that range.
Analogy: two pieces of paper on one site. The solar paper has a term. The battery paper has a size. Neither paper has a price.
Good: A company page dated 11 November, four named parks, a 10-year solar term, a separate 10 MW / 20 MWh toll, and July 2027 kept on the trade page that prints it.
Bad: No euro price. No toll length. 82.3 MW and 2 hours are our arithmetic. July 2027 is not on the company page. No workplace is named. The two unbuilt parks have no switch-on date on the company page.
Ugly: Putting the 10-year term on the battery. Putting July 2027 on the company page. Pasting €10 to €15 onto this toll. Calling Statkraft's ambition a signed factory contract.
Soft next step: write the 10-year term on the four solar parks, write the toll as a separate 10 MW / 20 MWh line, and leave the euros blank.
