The Netherlands' largest near shore wind power plant Westermeerwind is to be erected in lake IJssel along the dikes of the Dutch municipality of Noordoostpolder. The 48 Siemens wind turbines will supply approximately 160,000 Dutch homes with climate-friendly electric power. The project will thereby significantly contribute to the Netherlands reaching their climate-protection targets. Within the framework of a 15-year comprehensive maintenance contract, the owner will benefit from Siemens' guaranteed availability. www.siemens.com/wind
