Windpark de Rietvelden

About

Founded in 2024, Windpark de Rietvelden is a co-op headquartered in s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands specializing in Wind.

Windpark de Rietvelden is a collaborative wind energy project located on and near industrial estate De Rietvelden in s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. The park consists of four Nordex N117 wind turbines with a hub height of 119 meters, rotor diameter of 117 meters, and tip height of 177.5 meters. The project is managed by multiple stakeholders including Heineken Brewery s-Hertogenbosch, BCTN container terminal, construction company Barten, the Pennings family, Pure Energie, and the cooperative Bossche Windmolen West. Three turbines supply approximately 60% of Heineken's electricity demand. One turbine is owned by 540 cooperative members who collectively consume approximately 2 million kWh annually. The remaining power is supplied to approximately 3,000 households locally. An environmental fund distributes project revenues to the surrounding community within a 1,775-meter radius. Members receive Energy Credits as annual bill reductions, and the cooperative invests in educational and renewable energy innovation projects.
