The second wind turbine in Wachtebeke has also been completed!

Wind farm Wachtebeke
8 Sep 2012

Amid great public interest, the rotor of the second wind turbine of the Storm wind farm in Wachtebeke was lifted into place on september 8th.

Although at Storm we usually love it when there is wind, this is different for the rotor lift. Since the rotor is so big, there should be almost no wind to safely lift and install the rotor.

A rotor lift is a beautiful sight and one of the most impressive moments during the construction of a wind farm.

Wind farm Wachtebeke

Operational

The Storm wind farm in Wachtebeke is part of Storm's first repowering project. The original turbines in Wachtebeke were replaced in 2023 with two larger and more efficient models. The wind farm is now operating at full capacity, producing approximately 30,632 MWh per year. This is enough renewable energy to power over 8,700 households annually. For comparison, the two original wind turbines had a capacity of 2.5 MW and generated electricity for about 3,700 households per year.
