DGEC’s lawyers fully agreed with Schiphol, because DGEC also believes that the safety of aviation is paramount. “It’s only about the receipt,” DGEC’s lawyer said. Because who will pay those millions in dismantling costs, and the missing income of the solar park?
The message from DGEC was clear: breaking can, also the entire complex, as long as they do not get the victim financially. Because, according to them, all permits and rules have been successfully followed, there has been enough consultation with the municipality and Schiphol, and other measures can also be taken, “such as the use of sunglasses and valves by pilots”.
Compensable or bankrupt
That is why the owners of the solar park want to be compensated. That would mean that Schiphol should not only deposit money for the dismantling of the park, but also that all missed income from DGEC must be reimbursed. What amounts that is exactly is not generally known, but the 100 -hectare park would generate energy for 25 years.
“If DGEC is simply the assignment to dismantle and bear the costs themselves, they will go bankrupt,” says their lawyer. But bankruptcy or not, Schiphol stays that the company itself should have investigated more carefully whether the solar panels might be too mirroring.
Even a reconciling proposal from the court to arrange something in the meantime, whereby Schiphol, for example, preserves money to avert a possible crisis from August, stranded after mutual consultation. The judgment of the summary proceedings is scheduled for July 16.
