Energy companies, farmers and other operators of renewable energy definitely want to demolish 172 newly built mega windmills and replaced to collect additional subsidy. If they still get a permit for the new turbines, this year they claim more than 350 million green power subsidy.



According to research by the Dutch Association Residents Wind Turbines (NLVOW) in municipalities and provinces throughout the Netherlands, writes the newspaper. The NLVOW recent months widely permit for the replacement of turbines over the past decade built. Entered

These mills are technically still just fine, but come through their age no longer eligible for green electricity subsidy.

“These turbines can, certainly ten to fifteen years but are replaced and re-signed since turning subsidized is much more lucrative. This has nothing to do with sustainability, but everything with pocket double subsidies, “says Rob Rietveld of NLVOW.
