NATURAL POWER SOLUTIONS

Orka provides you with energy from nature

Do you want renewable energy and at the same time save more on costs? Combine a more sustainable operation with a higher yield from your infrastructure? The Orka energy model is the answer.

Orka invests in your renewable energy projects

We produce renewable energy for your business or government organisation.

We reduce your energy consumption by means of major energy projects (relighting,...),also known as ESCO projects.



For example: produce inexpensive green power on your roof

Does your company have a large roof? Orka rents your roof, places a photovoltaic solar park and runs the installation. Your advantage? You get inexpensive green power (cheaper than what you pay now). That not only benefits the environment, but also your wallet. Do you have a large industrial roof? Or do you want to drastically reduce your energy consumption?

  • Marco Hengst, Intervest, Head of Property Management

    During the entire project we worked together very smoothly with Orka. We especially appreciate their pleasant and pragmatic approach.

    Marco Hengst, Intervest, Head of Property Management

  • Frederik Mertens, CBRE Global Investors, Transaction & Asset Manager

    Their strength? Orka provides a total package solution, a service from A to Z. They don’t just place the solar panels, but they take the entire case off your hands. Very convenient!

    Frederik Mertens, CBRE Global Investors, Transaction & Asset Manager

  • Bart Lenaerts, SITA Belgium, Senior Purchaser

    Of the two parties we compared we chose Orka for their professionalism, their transparent communication and their no-nonsense approach. What’s striking is that they don’t give up until they find a solution.

    Bart Lenaerts, SITA Belgium, Senior Purchaser

  • Raoul Van Raemdonck, VRD, managing director and owner

    Orka works very professionally. Our case entailed huge files and complex contracts. Well, they handled that perfectly. That was of utmost importance to us.

    Raoul Van Raemdonck, VRD, managing director and owner

  • Stefan Vloeberghs, SITA Belgium, Project & Process Manager

    Orka is completely neutral. That is their great strength. Whether the solution to our problem is lamp A or lighting technology B: it’s all the same to them. As long as the lamp - and the solution - fulfils our wishes.

    Stefan Vloeberghs, SITA Belgium, Project & Process Manager

  • Karel Lagast, Lano, CFO

    Back then there were a lot of cowboys on the market. Orka however, is a very reliable and serious partner. This is important because you don’t go into business with each other for six months but for 20 years. Up to this day, we’re still very satisfied with Orka. This proves that they are genuinely a long term partner.

    Karel Lagast, Lano, CFO

  • Patrick Verstraete, Leasinvest, Project Manager

    In everything we do, we try to be as professional as possible. With a partner like Orka, that is also professional at their job, you can take on any problem.

    Patrick Verstraete, Leasinvest, Project Manager

Producing renewable energy

Do you have a large industrial roof (hangar, warehouse, office or factory)? Orka rents your roof and places photovoltaic solar panels on it.

Your advantage?

You get inexpensive green power for your company. That not only benefits the environment, but also your wallet.

Reduction of CO2 emissions

Electricity generated from traditional energy sources (natural gas, fossil fuel, coal, waste,...) causes high CO2 emissions. That is not the case with renewable energy sources. Power generated by solar, wind or hydro energy reduces your CO2 emissions to an absolute minimum. Energy-saving projects take this even one step further.

The goal

To avoid unnecessary energy consumption as much as possible.

How do we go about this?

By replacing obsolete equipment (lighting or heating) with new and more efficient technologies. Because the less energy you consume, the less CO2 you emit and the lower your energy bill.

Orka = Icelandic for energy

Orka finances, builds, operates and maintains renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects. Our target group? Companies and government organisations.

Advantages offered by the Orka energy model:

No investment costs – because Orka invests and finances the installation,
You save – because you pay less for energy than you did before,
Care-free energy production – as Orka maintains the facilities and operates them,
Good for the environment – because you produce green energy, reduce your CO2 emissions and save on energy,
Good for your image – because working sustainably is working on the future.

Since its establishment in 2008, Orka has carried out more than 30 solar energy projects in Flanders and Brussels as a third part financier. This makes it one of the major players in Belgium. Orka also recently launched its first ESCO (Energy Saving COntracts) project.

Since 2008, Orka has carried out more than 30 large-scale solar projects through third party financing in Flanders and Brussels. This makes Orka one of the major players in Belgium.

‘Orka’ = Icelandic for energy

Our projects

Orka renewable energy projects

Orka has already carried out dozens of large PV projects. Representing a total roof area of over 650,000 m2 and more than 140,000 solar panels.
The combined power output of all these installations? 34.3 megawatts. This is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 9,000 families. Comparable to Belgian cities such as Eeklo or Diest. The result? A total CO2 reduction of 15,000 tons per year.

Orka energy saving projects

Orka collaborates with SITA on a relighting project for various SITA locations in Belgium. How does this collaboration work? Orka invests in energy efficient lighting solutions that are used by SITA. The combined estimated capacity of this new lighting equipment is 450 kW. How much does SITA save thanks to this project? 50% on its energy bill for lighting.
