Alfen N : turn-key grid project supports Looye’s sustainable greenhouse tomatoes

The Netherlands, 1 May - Energy supply in greenhouse horticulture is increasingly relying on electricity as the industry too becomes more sustainable. Dutch tomato giant, Looye Kwekers, is taking steps towards a greener future by partnering with Alfen to achieve carbon neutrality and energy efficiency by 2040.

As part of an agreement, sealed in December 2023, Alfen will provide a comprehensive suite of solutions to help Looye Kwekers in their journey towards energy and CO2 neutrality.

Alfen brings a turn-key solution to the table, delivering a medium voltage walk-in station, 6 Diabolo 40H compact stations equipped with 2500kVA transformers, and a Sicuro 116 generator connection box. This turn-key solution will help Looye Kwekers transition its operations towards a more sustainable energy model.

Alfen's experts will install these stations, along with the necessary medium-voltage cabling, with the entire solution expected to be operational by October 2024.
