Services
EPZ operates a variety of energy generation facilities, including a nuclear power plant, a wind park, and a solar park. The company produces approximately 4,000 GWh of electricity annually from its nuclear power plant. This energy production makes EPZ a significant player in the energy sector with a diverse portfolio that includes both nuclear and renewable energy sources.
Renewable Energy Production
In addition to its nuclear power plant, EPZ operates a wind park and a solar park. The wind turbines have a capacity of 33 MW, generating around 70 GWh of climate-neutral electricity annually. Similarly, the solar park has a capacity of 21 MW, producing between 20 and 25 GWh of climate-neutral electricity each year. These initiatives underscore EPZ's commitment to sustainable energy production.
Climate-Neutral Operations
EPZ is dedicated to achieving 100% climate-neutral operations. The company focuses on sustainable practices across its various energy generation facilities, ensuring that its operations have minimal environmental impact. This commitment includes producing significant amounts of climate-neutral electricity through both wind and solar energy, in addition to recycling all fuel used in its nuclear power plant.
Fuel Recycling at Borssele Nuclear Power Plant
At the Borssele nuclear power plant, EPZ engages in a fuel recycling process that extracts eight years of energy from one load of natural uranium. This approach not only maximizes the energy yield from the fuel but also aligns with EPZ's sustainability goals by minimizing waste and reducing the need for fresh uranium.
Global Compact Initiative Participation
EPZ is a participant in the Global Compact Initiative, which emphasizes the importance of human rights, labor conditions, environmental impact, and anti-corruption measures. By engaging in this initiative, EPZ demonstrates its commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices on a global scale.
Partnerships with Nucleair Nederland
EPZ collaborates with other Dutch nuclear companies through its membership in Nucleair Nederland. This association facilitates cooperation and knowledge exchange among the country's nuclear energy providers, enhancing the sector's overall performance and sustainability.
