About us

We are Sloecentrale

Sloe Centrale is a subsidiary of EP Nederland and, together with PZEM, is part of the EPH group. Partly thanks to the flexibility of the Sloe power plant, EP Netherlands - in collaboration with PZEM - can respond quickly to changing market conditions such as gas prices, sustainable energy sources and network conditions. Sloe Centrale is ISO 9001 (quality) 14001 (environment) ISO 45001 (health and safety), ISO 27001 (information security) and ISO 55001 (asset management) certified.

Our vision

We generate flexible and reliable output of electricity and therefore contribute to the energy transition by complementing wind and solar energy. Our drivers are Safety first, Operational Excellence and Customer intimacy. We minimize our environmental impact as much as possible. We believe in the development of our professionals to build a sustainable organization. With the support of our people we keep our competitive edge.

Market outlook

After a decade of commercial operation, Sloe Centrale is well recognized as being a reliable, safe and efficient plant operator. Nevertheless, the European energy market is facing structural changes and the predictability of its evolution, depending on various criteria, remains a challenge. To cope with this challenge and maintain a front position in the CCGT merit order, Sloe Centrale will invest the coming years in several technical optimizations of the plant, related to response and flexibility.

Sloe Centrale and corporate social responsibility

Sloe Centrale B.V. is socially involved within the Zeeland region. Over the years, various activities have been set in motion with a lot of commitment from employees. Participation in the spinning marathons for Kika and the Ride for the Roses for example. We are also active in circular economy finding a valuable destination for upgraded equipment, such as coffee machines and mobile devices but also work clothing. Finally, we sponsor local initiatives and projects that help to improve the quality of life within Zeeland, educational projects and projects to improve the local environment.
