Zijn windontwikkelaars geldzoekers?
Neen. Je hebt verschillende types windontwikkelaars die misschien anders te werk gaan en een andere structuur kennen. Maar de meeste windontwikkelaars willen de omslag maken naar hernieuwbare energie omdat dat de toekomst is. Een aantal daarvan werken met particuliere aandeelhouders, zoals onze Eoly Coöperatie. Wij geven omwonenden en sympathisanten inspraak in onze projecten en delen onze opbrengst met hen.
Does a wind turbine take more energy to produce than it generates?
After three to eight months, onshore wind turbines produce as much electricity as their production, installation and eventual recycling requires. With these few months, we are talking peanuts, considering the 20-25 years the turbines generate electricity. What’s more, newer turbines have a greater capacity, meaning that it takes less time for them to compensate for that initial electricity investment.

Are they adequately informed? Open and transparent communication has always been a priority for Eoly Energy. Got a question regarding a project in your neighbourhood? Ask us at info@eoly.be.
