Within the top fifteen climate opportunities for Gelderland, onshore wind represents an annual reduction potential of 1,385 kton CO₂-eq towards 2030. This places the solution in third position, directly behind rooftop solar and zero-emission vehicles.
Within the energy domain, onshore wind is the second large renewable building block after rooftop solar. The potential is substantial, yet its realisation is sensitive to spatial integration, permitting and grid capacity, factors that constrain the roll-out of large-scale wind projects in Gelderland. The energy sector as a whole shows roughly 31% realisation, indicating that part of this wind potential still has to be captured.
