Arnhem, 6 November 2024 - Following the announcement today that Royal HaskoningDHV will acquire Pondera Consult, the activities of Pondera Development will be rebranded into Pronewable Development. Pronewable Development will continue as an independent company.  

Pronewable Development  and Rebel acquired the ‘Strekdammen’ project from Yard Energy in 2020 and further developed two GE 5.5 MW Cypress wind turbines on the breakwaters of the Port of Eemshaven. Together Pronewable Development and Rebel received the permits, issued turbine tenders and commissioned the turbines in 2022. In total, the two wind turbines have a combined capacity of 11 MW. This is equivalent to the energy consumption of about 15,500 households. 

Pondera Development and Rebel are developing a new wind farm, Hartel III. The Hartel III project site used to host several wind turbines, which were decommissioned by the previous operator at the end of their useful life. Rebel and Pondera acquired the project in 2023 from M&M and will focus on installing new turbines in this interesting and challenging location in the Port of Rotterdam.

Pronewable Development is developing onshore wind and solar energy projects in Latvia. Pronewable Development brings knowledge and experience to this growing market that is becoming more energy independent. 

Our Taranaki based project is in the first assessment stage of the resource consent and is a small hybrid wind plus solar project.  This first stage is executed by New Zealand specialist companies to ensure that we have the best local expertise available to us, combined with the vast experience of Pondera Consult and Pronewable Development in the Netherlands.

Pronewable Development is collaborating with Frizon, a leader in sustainable agriculture, to develop two major wind farms in Romania. With a total capacity of 700 MW, these wind farms represent a significant step toward a greener future. 

Pronewable Development is a renewable energy specialist and Frizon's expertise in cultivating crops in the most sustainable way makes them the perfect partner for this venture. Frizon is providing the land for these wind farms, and together, these companies develop large-scale onshore wind farms in Romania to decarbonize the electricity generation in the region. 

Pronewable Development and Rebel have been granted the permit for a battery of 5 MW at the Eemshaven. Following the wind turbine development by Pronewable Development and Rebel, a contracted grid connection with Enexis of a capacity of 15 MW was realised. This ‘excess’ capacity will be used by the BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) to provide services to the electricity market. 

Under the name ‘AmpHytrite’, Pronewable Development and partners are investigating the feasilibity of green hydrogen generation in offshore conditions using electricity from wind turbines. The goal of the AmpHytrite project is to build and operate a green hydrogen offshore wind production unit in stages while also learning the complexity of a centralized offshore and off-grid hydrogen production unit. The project's ultimate goal is to help produce green hydrogen on a big scale and at a reasonable cost at sea, which would boost decarbonization on a larger scale. 

Pronewable Development, with its partners Rebel and Enercon, won the tender to develop a wind turbine at Landtong, Rozenburg in the Municipality of Rotterdam. An Agreement of Intent has been signed with energy cooperations Rozenburg and Energie Collectief Waterweg to allow local residents and entrepreneurs to become co-owner. 

Pronewable Development is investing in Tethys Energy Storage, which is a large scale energy storage developer. Tethys Energy Strorage initiates, develops and realizes sustainable energy storage facilities. Tethys Energy Storage is committed to establishing a renewable, fair and reliable energy system through the implementation of sustainably developed energy storage products.
