North Sea Boulevard wind project
Wind turbines on the Noordzeeboulevard in Oostvoorne
In 2012, the Municipality of Voorne aan Zee (then Westvoorne) agreed with the Province of South Holland and the other municipalities on Voorne-Putten to enable wind energy generation at a number of locations in the region. Those agreements were laid down in the Covenant Realization Wind Energy (former) Rotterdam City Region. In 2017, follow-up agreements were made on where wind turbines may be located. One such site is the North Sea Boulevard along the Oostvoorn Lake in Oostvoorne.
Why wind energy
Voorne aan Zee is committed to making more use of renewable energy in the future. Wind energy is one example. Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy. Energy from wind reduces CO2 emissions and makes us less dependent on fossil fuels. At the same time, we want to take good account of the values of our landscape and the well-being of local residents.

As a region, in 2017 we jointly identified a number of sites where wind energy can be generated. In Westvoorne, this is the Noordzeeboulevard in Oostvoorne. Other sites in the region are the Brielse Maasdijk wind site in Nissewaard, the Haringvlietdam wind site in Hellevoetsluis and the Ondernemingspolder in Brielle.
