With the wind farm comes clean energy for nearly one million homes, expanding to five million once the remaining wind farms are built. The Borssele wind farm will also create around 10,000 jobs, as well as other economic benefits for the nearby communities. These wind farm projects are part of the country’s larger strategy to increase offshore wind energy generation capacity from the existing 1,000 MW to a grand total of 4,500 MW, which contributes to the national goal of 16 percent renewable energy by 2023.
