Burgervlotbrug Onshore Wind Farm, Netherlands | Renewable Energy Facility

Burgervlotbrug is an operational onshore wind farm located in the Netherlands, a country known for its ambitious renewable energy targets. With a capacity of 7.65 MW, it is a small-scale wind facility that supports the national grid with clean electricity. The facility operates under the Netherlands' renewable energy framework, which aligns with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III, targeting 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The Netherlands has implemented feed-in premiums and grid connection guarantees to encourage wind energy development, making projects like Burgervlotbrug viable. As part of the Dutch wind energy portfolio, Burgervlotbrug contributes to reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy security. Its location in the coastal province of North Holland benefits from consistent wind resources, typical for onshore wind farms in the region.

Onshore wind farms like Burgervlotbrug can have visual impacts on the landscape and may affect local bird and bat populations. However, the Netherlands has strict environmental regulations to mitigate these effects, including environmental impact assessments and monitoring programs. The facility's small scale reduces its overall ecological footprint.
