Financing secured for the ZE-BRA wind farm project

Eneco, in collaboration with Zeeuwind and Lindewind, has secured financing for the ZE-BRA wind farm project. Situated along the boundary between the Dutch provinces of Zeeland and Brabant, the wind farm will comprise 15 turbines.

Contractor H4A will handle the civil engineering work, including building foundations, access roads, and crane platforms, while Hanab will be responsible for installing the cables and electrical systems. Enercon will supply and assemble the wind turbines. Initial cable route work by Hanab is scheduled to begin in June 2025, followed by H4A’s civil engineering activities starting around mid-August. If the timeline remains on track, Enercon will begin installing the turbines in April 2026. The first turbines are expected to start operating by October 2026, with full commissioning of the wind farm targeted for January 1, 2027.

Eneco will own nine of the wind turbines, or 60% of the ZE-BRA wind farm. Zeeuwind and Lindewind will hold the remaining six turbines in shared ownership through their partnership Windpark Westerschelde. Once the ZE-BRA wind farm is operational, it is expected to produce approximately 220,000 MWh of green energy, enough to power more than 83,000 households.
