The turbines will be built on an island in the southwest of the Netherlands.

A consortium comprising AkzoNobel, DSM, Google, and Philips has agreed to source 350 million kWh of electricity annually from Windpark Krammer, a wind turbine park that is due to open in the Netherlands in 2019. The electricity is equivalent to the annual consumption of 100,000 Dutch homes.

Windpark Krammer is being established by two cooperatives with a combined 4,000 members.
