Citizen wind cooperation Achterhoek Burgerwindcooperatie Achterhoekse wind energie

The aim of cooperation is to stimulate and promote wind energy in Berkelland. Berkelland residents can become members and help decide on the cooperative’s course. Members can also become co-owners of a wind turbine and benefit financially from new wind turbines in the region through their civilian wind cooperative. The citizens’ wind cooperation Achterhoek wants as many residents as possible in Berkelland to benefit from their own wind turbines. The municipality of Berkelland wants to be energy-neutral in 2030, and in addition to solar energy, this also requires wind energy. This is exactly what the cooperative is aiming for. The impact of climate change is not something they can ignore. The cause of the extreme drought in the Achterhoek region can be linked to climate change. By building and operating wind turbines together, they can better ensure that the benefits of local green energy generation accrue to their own residents.
