“We work on amazing projects, with experts from all fields. We depend on each other to achieve our goal, so everyone is willing to collaborate.”<\/em><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Was it a conscious choice to work in the renewable energy industry? “Yes, I have always been interested in renewable energy, and I wanted to contribute to the energy transition. Working in the renewable energy sector made sense. I thought to myself: I can make a difference, so I should. Ideally, I wanted to do something tangible and renewable energy projects are an excellent example of that.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

“When I started at Ventolines in 2019, I was one of the first electrical engineers. I was able to make an impact in my position, partly due to the flat organizational structure. However, there were also challenges. Occasionally, I would miss having colleagues with the same expertise. After three years, I still enjoy what I do! I work on remarkable projects, like Windpark Frysl\u00e2n, Windpark Hattemerbroek, Windplan Groen and the Closed Distribution System Groen. How cool is it that I have contributed to these projects?” \u00a0<\/p>\n

You seem very passionate about your job, what else are you enthusiastic about? “Many things! After all there is much more to life than electrical engineering. Social activities, having fun and creating a positive working atmosphere are other things I enjoy. It was only logical that I joined the party committe soon after I started at Ventolines. With several colleagues we organise drinks, events and team building activities.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Ventolines is very involved in the energy transition, we like to make ourselves available for site visits with clients, local residents and students. We hope to inspire not only all stakeholders, but also future generations.\u00a0<\/i><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Windpark Frysl\u00e2n is bijna klaar. De 89 windturbines met een tiphoogte van 180 meter worden momenteel van fundering tot gondel ge\u00efnspecteerd, waarna deze worden getest en in bedrijf gaan. Windturbines met een tiphoogte van meer dan 150 meter, moeten wettelijk worden voorzien van luchtvaartverlichting. Bij Windpark Frysl\u00e2n geldt dit voor de buitenste 30 windturbines. Dankzij een naderingsdetectiesysteem kan deze verlichting binnenkort \u2019s nachts worden uitgeschakeld wanneer er geen luchtvaartuigen in de buurt van het windpark zijn.<\/p>

Verlichting windpark<\/strong><\/p>

De windturbines hebben boven in een lamp die overdag wit licht en \u2019s nachts rood licht rondom uitstraalt. Halverwege de toren zit verlichting die \u2019s nachts continu rood licht uitstraalt. Om de overlast van de verlichting voor de omgeving te beperken, heeft Windpark Frysl\u00e2n diverse maatregelen genomen:<\/p>
