VIDEO: Building Dutch Largest Nearshore Wind Farm

The Netherlands’ largest near shore wind power plant Westermeerwind is to be erected in lake IJssel along the dikes of the Dutch municipality of Noordoostpolder.

The 48 Siemens wind turbines will supply approximately 160,000 Dutch homes with climate-friendly electric power.

The construction work is already underway at the site, with first monopole foundation installed last month.

The entire offshore wind farm, with a total capacity of 144MW, is expected to be ready by mid-February 2016.
