In Belgium and the Netherlands, VINCI Energies Belgium through its brand Omexom is taking on multiple photovoltaic solar projects

• Boortmalt, a world leader in malt production, is committed to reducing energy consumption in its plants 50% by 2030. Its headquarters in Antwerp led by example in 2020, equipping its parking area with 2,000 solar panels. The yearly production is almost 900 MWh, along with 50 vehicle charging stations.
• In April 2023, Zonnepark Hemmen was commissioned in the municipality of Overbetuwe, at the heart of the Dutch province of Gelderland. With no fewer than 37,736 solar panels, the installation generates 24.81 MWp of green energy, enough to meet the energy needs of around 5,000 households.

Meeting the key players in the energy transition: Michael Erspamer

Blessed with a dual Italian and German background, Michael Erspamer has made his mark at Omexom Deutschland as its Technical Director for Transmission Lines, with a firm emphasis on innovation.

The latest innovation to his credit is an innovative catenary roller system to make the installation of high-voltage lines safer. A minor revolution against the traditional system! But Michael Erspamer has already moved on to the next challenge. “I’m currently working on several other assignments,” he says. “One is about 3D modelling of transmission towers and using augmented reality to optimise their installation in the field. Two others involve drones and AI.”
