Installation of Foundations Starts at World’s Largest Inland Water Wind Farm

The construction of Wind Park Fryslân has started.

With finance coming jointly from ten banks and the province of Fryslân, work has commenced on Windpark Fryslân in the Dutch IJsselmeer, south of the Afsluitdijk, six kilometers off the Frisian coast in the Netherlands. The near shore windpark is being built by Zuiderzeewind, a consortium of Van Oord and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.  Never before has such a large wind park been built in any fresh water lake in the world.
