Building a sustainable future one power plant at a time

Holland Energy Park ™ was designed in coordination with Envision® requirements and the City of Holland’s long-range Community Energy Plan, a 40-year plan to become a world-class leader in energy security, affordability, sustainability and efficiency.

Holland Energy Park ™ recently made history in the industry as the first ever power plant to receive an Envision® Award for sustainability. HBPW earned the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure’s (ISI) highest recognition with the Envision® Platinum Award acknowledging the sustainability of public infrastructure. Since inception, we designed Holland Energy Park™ to be a reliable power resource for the Holland community that is socially, economically and environmentally responsible.

“Earning the Platinum Envision recognition is something the City of Holland and HBPW can be proud of,” said Dan Nally, business services director of Holland Board of Public Works. “The award recognizes the thoughtful planning and actions behind providing Holland with sustainable, reliable, and affordable power generation.”

The Holland Energy Park ™ fulfills three core functions:

1. To be a world-class resource that provides a sustainable and long-term energy source and an educational hub

2. To be a destination that provides activities for the public to connect the community

3. To be a gateway-enhancing eastern access into the City of Holland.

Envision® is a verification process specifically designed to rate the sustainability of infrastructure. The process measures five categories: Quality of Life, Leadership, Natural World, Resource Allocation, and Climate and Risk. The categories review the positive social, economic and environmental impacts in a community throughout the planning, design and construction of infrastructure projects.
