Gent haven – Tower Automotive

Een windturbine, in rechte lijn met de windturbines bij Ghent Coal Terminal en centrale Rodenhuize.

Parallel aan de JF Kennedylaan, en in lijn met de windturbines op de site van Rodenhuize en de windturbines bij Ghent Coal Terminal, bouwden wij een extra windturbine op de site van Tower Automotive. De windenergie voorziet de fabriek van ongeveer 5 miljoen KWh hernieuwbare elektriciteit per jaar.

Het windpark werd gerealiseerd en wordt uitgebaat en onderhouden door Wind4Flanders, een partnership tussen ENGIE, de financieringsverenigingen FIGGA, FINGEM, FINILEK en IKA alsmede de Brusselse Elektriciteitsintercommunale (IBE).

De Haven van Gent is een strategisch interessante plaats om nieuwe windcapaciteit te ontwikkelen. Deze projecten laten een directe injectie van hernieuwbare elektriciteit toe in het industrieel proces van de daar aanwezige industrie en een verhoging van de competitiviteit van de ondernemingen die daar actief zijn.
