In the Netherlands, built the largest and cheapest wind farm sea Bashny.Net

In the Netherlands, to accommodate the cheapest in the world for marine wind power, just after some 10 years.





According to the government, plans for the construction of a 700 MW wind farm will come true, and after reviewing 38 applications from developers, the cost Borselli the offshore wind farm, according to experts, will be $ 2.9 billion less than originally anticipated. In addition, the wind farm will have a higher capacity, producing 22.5 per cent more electricity than expected.

Such a low price was the result of stiff competition between companies in an open public tender, the company sought to obtain a permit and related subsidies for the construction and operation of the wind farm. Overall, there were 38 applications, including the largest Danish company specializing in the construction of offshore wind farms, Dong Energy, which won the tender.

Discuss marine wind farm consists of two pieces of land, which will together generate clean energy to nearly 14 miles from the coast of the province of Zealand (niderl. Zeeland).





In the future, Baselski the project will be expanded to cover five separate areas, the latter of which will be a small pilot plant for testing new technologies using wind energy.

"The world was not yet such incidents to the marine wind farm was built at such a low cost," said Henk Kamp (Henk Kamp), the Minister of economy of the Netherlands. "The Dutch system, in which companies must compete with each other while the government regulates the conditions for construction of wind farms, has been very effective. This cost reduction represents an important breakthrough in the transition to a more sustainable energy".





Thanks to the new 700 MW sea wind power, electricity will be extended to one million households. Four additional offshore wind farms, the capacity of each of which will be 700 MW, will be built in the coming years off the coast of the provinces North and South Holland.

Together, these five wind farms will have a total capacity of 3,500 MW, generating enough electricity for more than five million families. This is a tangible contribution to the achievement of the objectives of the Netherlands to achieve a coverage of 16% of energy demand with sustainable energy by 2023. And the size of the project makes it unique. For comparison, the largest marine vetroparka in Europe at the moment is 630 MW the London Array project. Meanwhile, the average capacity of offshore wind farms built in 2015 in Europe, is 337,9 MW.

Minister Kamp continued: "over the next few years, the five largest windmills in the world will be built in the Netherlands. With the development of marine wind farms, we are also creating a new economic sector. To work on the project has already created 4,000 jobs in the Netherlands, such as in industry, construction and scientific research. And, as expected, the need will increase to 10 000 jobs by 2020".

A large part of the construction of a new wind farm in Borssele, is expected to be from the port of Vlissingen.
