Reliable, year-round power from the wind, tailored for your energy needs.
Best for:
Farms with moderate to high energy use. Steady generation year-round, optimised for agricultural sites. Dairy, arable, and mixed farms.
Best for:
Larger farms & commercial sites with high energy demand. High generation potential for large-scale operations. Flower farmers, large farms, SMEs.
Wind turbines operate day and night, summer and winter, making them one of the most reliable forms of renewable energy.
For farms and businesses with constant or high energy demand, wind is often the backbone of an independent energy supply. Unlike solar energy, which peaks in the summer, wind often delivers the most in the colder months - exactly when energy demand is also highest.
By itself, wind power can cover a large portion of your energy needs. But when combined with solar power, you get a balanced and complementary energy mix:
This seasonal balance gets you closer to complete energy independence.
Annual output depends on wind speeds, site location, and turbine choice. In the right location, a turbine can produce enough electricity to power most, if not all, of a farm or SME’s yearly needs, and in some cases, generate surplus for on-site storage or feed-in.
Typical payback range: 5 to 9 years* depending on site conditions, energy prices, and consumption patterns.
*Estimates based on typical Dutch site conditions and current market factors
CASE STUDY
Holwierde, Groningen
Busz-Ladru Poultry Farm in Holwierde operates 34,000 Better Life broiler chickens alongside 60 hectares of arable land. In 2017, they installed three EAZ turbines to meet their continuous energy demand, particularly for ventilation systems that run day and night.
With wind power covering the majority of their energy use, the farm remains resilient to changes in net metering rules and energy price fluctuations. Henri Busz reports minimal downtime and fast response from Ecoways service teams, making wind a reliable long-term choice.
CASE STUDY
Zijpe, Noord-Holland
Windpark Zijpe was the first commercial wind park in North Holland, with nine Lagerwey turbines installed in 1992. After 25 years, three turbines reached the end of their technical lifespan. In 2019, one was replaced with a WES80 turbine through a community participation project.
Funded by 56 local members and companies, the new turbine was forecasted to produce 180,000 kWh per year, but exceeded expectations, generating 215,000 kWh in its first year. In under two and a half years, it reached 500,000 kWh, avoiding more than 72 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Wind gives you a strong base throughout the year. Add solar for peaks in the summer and storage to use more of your own power.
Our EMS (Energy Management System) can even charge your battery at the cheapest "day ahead" rates and let you use or sell that energy when prices are high.
High yield in summer, predictable and economical.
Save your own power and use it when you need it.
