The Dutch energy transition has just taken another leap forward. On August 27, 2025, Greenchoice announced its acquisition of Statkraft’s renewable portfolio in the Netherlands, a move that cements its role as one of the country’s leading players in clean energy. While the financial details remain undisclosed, the transaction is poised to reshape the renewable energy landscape in the region.

With this acquisition, Greenchoice gains direct access to 120 MW of operational solar capacity, complemented by a strong pipeline of wind, solar, and energy storage projects. The portfolio features some of the Netherlands’ most prominent renewable assets, such as the 74 MW Winterswijk Poolserweg solar park, the 58 MW Nyrstar II Budel solar park, and the 20 MW/80 MWh Masterveldweg energy storage system. These assets not only diversify Greenchoice’s portfolio but also secure long-term growth in a competitive market.

For Statkraft, this divestment marks a strategic shift. The company announced in 2024 its plan to sell its portfolios in the Netherlands and Croatia, aiming to sharpen focus on core activities while maintaining its market presence in the Dutch energy sector. By transferring both assets and a highly skilled team to Greenchoice, Statkraft ensures continuity and allows Greenchoice to accelerate project development and operations seamlessly.

This deal goes beyond asset transfer—it strengthens the Dutch renewable ecosystem. The Winterswijk Poolserweg solar park continues to supply power to the merchant market, while the Nyrstar II Budel solar park is backed by a corporate PPA with Nyrstar, ensuring predictable returns. For Greenchoice, the acquisition opens the door to scaling new projects, particularly in energy storage, which will be crucial for balancing supply and demand as renewable penetration increases. With closing expected in autumn 2025, this move positions Greenchoice to drive innovation and support the Netherlands’ ambitious climate goals.

Greenchoice’s bold step is a signal of confidence in the future of Dutch renewables. As the company integrates these projects, all eyes will be on how it leverages this new platform for growth.
