Solar power plant in North Brabant, Netherlands. Approximate location 51.687, 4.546.
SolarNorth BrabantNetherlandsCO₂ reported
Moerdijk is a 20 MW solar power plant in North Brabant, Netherlands. It is operated by RWE Generation NL BV. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 8,509 homes (estimated). It ranks #66 of 106 Netherlands power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 429,754 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 100,176 cars driven for a year. In context, solar supplies about 21.1% of Netherlands's electricity; the national grid averages 254 gCO₂/kWh (54.2% low-carbon) (2025).

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 51.7°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 17% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 59/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 0.0% at warm-season highs here (estimate).

The #4 largest solar power plant of 13 in Netherlands by capacity.
Netherlands has 13 solar power plants in this dataset, together about 245 MW of capacity.
