Haringvliet

Haringvliet is a 4 MW wind power plant in South Holland, Netherlands. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 3,063 homes (estimated). It ranks #103 of 106 Netherlands power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1997, it is around 29 years old — long-established. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, wind supplies about 25.0% of Netherlands's electricity; the national grid averages 254 gCO₂/kWh (54.2% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This wind plant converts the kinetic energy of wind into electricity through turbine rotors. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 51.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Monthly mean temperature

Heating degree-days here run 18% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 60/100 — this site sits in the mid third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
