Eekerpolder wind farm

The Eekerpolder wind farm, located near the villages of Meeden and Muntendam and the N33 and A7 motorways, consists of a total of 15 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 4.2 MW. The annual production of approximately 210 GWh of green electricity corresponds to the annual consumption of approximately 59,000 households.

The Eekerpolder wind farm is part of the N33 wind farm with a total of 35 turbines, which was developed together with partner Eurus Energy Europe. RWE manages 15 of these turbines.  The location near industry and infrastructure and the local wind conditions played an important role in the development of this wind farm.

Wind energy and the environment

The installation of wind turbines has an impact on the environment. Wind turbines must be safe, cause as little nuisance as possible to local residents and cause as little damage as possible to animals and plants. An independent research agency is investigating the effects of wind turbines on the environment and the surrounding area.
