NWB Bank is of great value to the realization of DWD

“The realization of the new industrial water infrastructure and wastewater treatment is extensive and capital intensive,” says Perry van der Marel, managing director of North Water. “Where Google previously co-invested in the IWZ Garmerwolde, we now called on external financing for DWD.” That loan comes from NWB Bank. Aard Kluck, account manager Specialized Finance: “NWB Bank is a bank by and for the public sector with special attention to water and sustainability. With our high creditworthiness, we attract money for our customers at favorable rates. We focus on low costs for citizens and affordable sustainability of the Netherlands. Evides and Waterbedrijf Groningen were already NWB customers.”

“North Water, a joint venture of Evides Industriewater and Waterbedrijf Groningen, attracts new industry with its services. In addition to the fact that industrial water treatment relieves the pressure on the limited drinking water capacity in Groningen, it, like wastewater treatment, contributes to the economic and sustainable development of the region,” says Aard about the transaction between the two.
