Wind - A stable partner
Eneco provides investment, development, construction and operation of large-scale sustainable energy projects in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the UK. During the years ahead, Eneco Wind will be developing new projects with a production capacity in excess of 2000 MW from wind power.
Wind power is one of the cleanest and most environmentally friendly sources of energy. No greenhouse gases of air pollutants are released. This is why it is a safe and reliable source of low-emission energy for the future. Producing and supplying green energy is part of Eneco’s DNA. Having good relations with relevant local parties is important to Eneco. The company also maintains strict compliance with local and national rules and environmental standards.

Stages in the lifecycle of a wind farm
Eneco is actively involved in every phase of a wind farm’s existence: development, investment, construction and operation.The value that Eneco adds is that it controls risk profiles, the lifetime costs and the assets’ competencies. Wind farms (both onshore and offshore) are designed to be as cost-effective as possible, with high standards of reliability and performance.
Eneco excels at building bridges between consortium partners: partnerships with suppliers, contractors and investors that lead to winning bids.
