Eurus and its contractors have started the construction of the ‘Ariette’ battery project. This battery energy storage system (BESS) is jointly developed and owned by Eurus Energy Europe BV and Toyota Tsusho Europe SA.

It comprises of a containerised installation, with a capacity of 1 MW and 2.5 MWh. The BESS will be co-located with the Eurus-owned ‘Windpark Mondriaan’. This wind farm has a total installed capacity of 38.7 MW and is located in the province of Groningen, The Netherlands. By sharing a grid connection with the windfarm, the BESS makes optimal use of existing infrastructure. It will be employed to provide various services to grid operators, and to mitigate energy imbalance on the electricity grid.

The system will be taken into operation in the second quarter of 2024.

Partial transfer of the shares of two wind farms in the Netherlands

2021.11.19

As of November 16, 2021, Eurus Energy Group has completed a partial transfer of its shares in two wind farms operating in the province of Groningen, the Netherlands, Windpark Mauve and Windpark Mondriaan, to Groningen Seaports NV.

Groningen Seaports is a public enterprise that manages and operates the Ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven, as well as adjacent industrial estates. We will continue to manage the operation of the two wind farms, both of which are located near the Port of Delfzijl. Furthermore, Eurus and Groningen Seaports have entered into a long-term collaboration to develop renewable energy projects in the region, including new businesses such as the production of green hydrogen.

Groningen Seaports CEO Cas König is proud of the collaboration: “Eurus is a major player in sustainable energy worldwide. It opens doors to new markets and collaborations. We are pleased that such a large company endorses the importance of the northern seaports and sees opportunities in our area.”

Koji Tsuchimoto, Managing Director Eurus Energy Europe, sees this as an important step: “With Groningen Seaports as our partner, we will redouble our commitment to the responsible operation of Mauve and Mondriaan wind farms, as well as further expansion of sustainable energy business in Groningen.”

Aiming to realize our corporate philosophy of “Helping to Preserve the Global Environment by Disseminating and Expanding Clean Energy Technologies” and to contribute to the creation of a sustainable economy and society, Eurus is accelerating our efforts to create new business opportunities besides the power generation business.

Outline of the Project

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – 9 September 2021
Eurus Energy Group (“Eurus”), a leading Japanese renewable energy company, announced that three wind farms in the province of Groningen, the Netherlands, have been successfully constructed and started commercial operation. The three wind farms consist of 36 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 155 MW.
Two of the three wind farms, Windpark Mauve and Windpark Mondriaan, are located near the Port of Delfzijl. The third wind farm, Windpark Vermeer, is located approximately 20 km to the south of the two others. The construction of the wind farms was managed by YARD ENERGY, from which Eurus acquired the projects in 2019. The power generated at the three wind farms, which will be sufficient for supplying renewable electricity for approximately 200,000 households, is sold to Eneco Group.
The National Climate Agreement, concluded in 2019 by the Dutch government and various stakeholders, targets a 49% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Koji Tsuchimoto, Managing Director of Eurus Energy Europe B.V., states: “The Netherlands’ ambitious climate policy provides great opportunities for the long-term growth of its renewable energy market. We are committed to further expanding our business in the Netherlands and contributing to achieving its climate goals.” Eurus entered the Dutch market in 2016, and currently owns and operates 20 wind farms with the total capacity of 303 MW in the country.

We are pleased to announce the start of commercial operation of our first photovoltaic power plant project in Taiwan.

Including this latest addition, Eurus is now operating or constructing power plants in 15 countries around the world.

The Photovoltaic Power Plant is located in Pingtung County, the southernmost county of Taiwan, the installation of solar panels manufactured by URE Co., Ltd provide an output of 1,985kW, and commercial operations began in December 2020.

This project was developed by W Energy Investment Corporation, a Taiwanese renewable energy developer. Eurus will invest in a 40% share of Helios Green Energy, the project holding company.

The Taiwanese government has set a target for increasing the share of renewable energy up to 20% by 2025, and is continuing to make proactive efforts, such as by adopting a feed-in tariff, to expand the introduction of renewable energy.

In 2018, Eurus established a local subsidiary in Taiwan, Eurus Energy Taiwan Co, Ltd. (“Eurus Energy Taiwan”). Having established an operating presence in the market, Eurus now looks to further develop its renewable energy business in Taiwan.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – 1 July 2020
Eurus Energy Group (“Eurus”), a leading Japanese renewable energy company, announced today the start of commercial operation of Windpark Deil, a 21 MW wind farm located in the municipality of West Betuwe in Gelderland, the Netherlands.
Windpark Deil consists of five Vestas V136-4.2 MW wind turbines, each with a hub height of 140 meters, a rotor diameter of 136 meters and a rated power of 4.2 MW. The construction of the wind farm has been managed by YARD ENERGY, from which Eurus acquired the project in 2018. The power generated at Windpark Deil, which will be sufficient for supplying renewable electricity for more than 26,000 households, will be sold to Eneco Group.

Toyota Tsusho and Eurus Energy Hold Ceremony to Mark Completion of Egypt’s First Wind Power IPP Project

– Contributing to the spread of renewable energy in the country with green and low-priced electricity –

Toyota Tsusho Corporation (“Toyota Tsusho”) and its group company Eurus Energy Holdings Corporation (“Eurus Energy”) today announced a ceremony on December 5 in Cairo, Egypt to mark the completion of a newly constructed 262.5 MW wind power plant in the Arab Republic of Egypt which began operation on October 31.

This is Egypt’s first-ever wind power independent power producer (“IPP”) project. Toyota Tsusho and Eurus Energy partnered with French electric utility company Engie S.A. and Egyptian construction company Orascom Construction S.A.E. to establish Ras Ghareb Wind Energy S.A.E. which will own and operate the power plant for the next 20 years and sell electricity to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company.

With the completion of this power plant, Toyota Tsusho and Eurus Energy will contribute to the spread of green and low-priced renewable energy in Egypt and aim to expand the wind power generation business in the future. Going forward, the companies will also plan to further develop the renewable energy business in Africa.
