Vattenfall starts construction of 34.2 MW Klaverspoor wind project in Binnen-Moerdijk

Vattenfall will start the construction of Klaverspoor Wind Farm in the province of Noord Brabant in the Netherlands next to the A16 motorway. The project involves an investment of EUR45 million (US$53.4 million). Twenty-five percent of this amount will come from the Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij.

The six wind turbines of Klaverspoor will be located in the polder of Binnen-Moerdijk along the A16. In November 2020, Vattenfall will start the first works on site: preparations for the construction of a road towards the new railroad crossing. Construction company Heijmans will carry out all civil engineering, such as the construction of roads, cranes, cables, and foundations for the wind farm. Wind turbine manufacturer Nordex Group will supply and install the six turbines of type N149/5X with a height of 135 meters.

Klaverspoor will supply the first green electricity in the second half of 2022. The expected installed capacity of the wind farm is 34.2 MW; the amount of electricity produced annually by these six wind turbines will be supplied to companies and customers and could be compared with the average annual consumption of approximately 30,000 Dutch households.
