The last turbine is up: Ecowende will power 3% of the Netherlands

Out in the North Sea, the Ecowende offshore wind farm is complete in the way that matters most: its final turbine has been installed, closing a year-long installation campaign by Van Oord's vessel Boreas. The farm's roughly 760 megawatts will generate enough renewable electricity for about 3% of the Netherlands' current electricity demand, and its first power already flowed in July. Ecowende was designed with an extra ambition — to build offshore wind in a way that teaches the industry how to leave the sea healthier, with ecological innovations woven into the project that future farms can copy.
