WP-Q7

WP-Q7 means Wind Park in Quarter 7 of the Northsea: a new project with offshore wind turbines. This is the second one in The Netherlands. You can find more information on the Q7-website.

I have found many pictures of this project on a personal weblog called the Kombuispraat (Galley Talk).

Vestas Wind A/S

The wind turbines are from Vestas, the well known danisch wind turbine producing company.

It took years before this project could actually start, I found proposals and reports of 2001. They are all in Dutch so that will not be so interesting for you. If you know Dutch you can find all relevant hyperlinks on my Dutch website in a weblog entry of 21 October 2006.

Interestig is to read who are taking part in this project. The companies E-Concern and Ecoventures, WinWind

E-Concern, by the way, is also shareholder of DarwinD a fairly young company (their website is not even on-line), based in Den Helder and probably planning to have production (if any) in the same new assembly hall as Harakosan Europe BV, the makers of the direct drive wind turbine Z-72 and working very hard on the new turbine Z-82.

A small world, isn't it ?
