This week, the assembly of the wind turbines of Wind Farm Fryslân in the Ijsselmeer, the Netherlands, was started.
From March to June 2021, the 89 wind turbines will be shipped, installed and tested. This is the final phase of the construction project and an important milestone for the wind farm. The close collaboration with contracting consortium Zuiderzeewind and all Frisian companies involved in the project has meant that preparations have gone according to plan. When all wind turbines are connected, they will produce approximately 1.5 TWh of green energy on an annual basis. This is equivalent to the energy consumption of approximately 500 000 Dutch households. Wind Park Fryslân accounts for approximately 75% of the targeted wind energy capacity in the province of Fryslân, the Netherlands.

The last wind turbine at Waipipi Wind Farm came out of test mode on March 4 and all 31 are now generating electricity, Tilt Renewables project developer Stewart Reid says. It s a milestone for the project, which began construction in October 2019 on a 980ha coastal site between Waverley and Pātea. There s been no celebration yet, but an open day for the public is planned, probably in April at a site at the end of Dryden Rd.

The last wind turbine at Waipipi Wind Farm came out of test mode on March 4 and all 31 are now generating electricity, Tilt Renewables project developer Stewart Reid says.
It’s a milestone for the project, which began construction in October 2019 on a 980ha coastal site between Waverley and Pātea.
There’s been no celebration yet, but an open day for the public is planned, probably in April at a site at the end of Dryden Rd.
There will be a shelter there, some boards with historic and cultural information, and local iwi Ngā Rauru Kiitahi is to provide a carved pou.

(Bloomberg) Look just beneath the surface of many of the technologies powering the energy transition and thereâs a red metallic glint. Copper is a vital part of green infrastructure from grids to wind turbines, and a recent price surge threatens to make decarbonization more costly.
