Meeuwentocht

About

Founded in 2001, Meeuwentocht is a co-op headquartered in Lelystad, Netherlands with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Wind.

Meeuwentocht is a wind energy cooperative established in 2001 by 17 farmers in Lelystad, Flevoland. The park operates 10 Enercon type E-66 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 18 MW. Since becoming operational in May 2003, the project has focused on energy generation while enabling local participation. The cooperative participates in the Windplan Groen initiative for repowering with larger, more efficient turbines to reduce environmental impact. Decommissioned turbine components are recycled or repurposed, including blade material converted to traffic signs. Citizens can participate in revenue sharing through area-based contributions, ensuring community benefit from renewable energy generation.
