Eurus Energy Group (“Eurus”), a leading Japanese renewable energy company, announced today the start of commercial operation of Windpark Deil, a 21 MW wind farm located in the municipality of West Betuwe in Gelderland, the Netherlands.
Windpark Deil consists of five Vestas V136-4.2 MW wind turbines, each with a hub height of 140 meters, a rotor diameter of 136 meters and a rated power of 4.2 MW. The construction of the wind farm has been managed by YARD ENERGY, from which Eurus acquired the project in 2018. The power generated at Windpark Deil, which will be sufficient for supplying renewable electricity for more than 26,000 households, will be sold to Eneco Group.
With the successful completion of the construction of Windpark Deil, the total capacity of Eurus’ wind farms in the Netherlands now stands at 148.5 MW. Adding three wind farms under construction, the capacity in the Netherlands is expected to reach 300 MW in 2021. Hidenori Mitsuoka, Managing Director of Eurus Energy Europe, states: “The Netherlands is aiming at reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 49% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels under the National Climate Agreement. We are proud to be part of the nationwide effort to achieve the goal by growing our renewable business further in the Netherlands.” Eurus entered the Dutch market in 2016 and currently owns and operates 17 wind farms in the country.
