Wind Farm Windplan Blauw

Windplanblauw is located on the north-east side of Flevoland in the area of Swifterbant and Dronten. This is where Vattenfall, in cooperation with SwifterwinT and Molenrak B.V. is realizing Windplanblauw. The plan involves the replacement of 74 old wind turbines for 61 new ones, which are larger and more powerful. The project consists of two parts, namely the onshore part consisting of 37 wind turbines supplied by Vestas type EnVentus 5.6MW, and 24 wind turbines located in the IJsselmeer (Nearshore) supplied by GE, type Cypress 5.5MW. Operationally, the entire wind farm will have a capacity of about 340MW, enough yield the electricity consumption of 450,000 households (about 1.0mln people).
