You too can share in the rewards by investing with Meewind; the minimum investment is €1,000. The more funds and resources available, the faster and more effectively Meewind can operate. Based on this conviction, organizations such as Greenchoice, The Hague city council, and the Province of North Holland have already joined Meewind.

DemandforcleanenergyOur energy needs are continually increasing. Switching to sustainable forms of energy is the only responsible way to meet demands. This premise is happily now accepted every-where: there is now more investment around the world in the development of renewable energy than in energy from fossil fuels.

In Europe, wind power already accounts for most of the newly installed generation capacity. Sources of a total of 8,484 MW wind power were installed in the EU in 2008. For the first time, this takes wind power to the top of the list of newly-installed power capacity, including fossil sources.

“More funds and resources mean that Meewind can operate faster and more effectively.”

WindenergyprioritizedThe European Commission has determined that 20% of all energy production should be generated by renewable energy sources by 2020. To achieve this goal, the increase in production from offshore wind sources is absolutely necessary. Of the 6,000 MW that the Dutch government wants to have es-tablished by 2020, only 228 MW currently exists, divided over two wind parks established off the coast of North Holland. The gap is significant, and this has been acknowledged by the Dutch govern-ment: grants have been made available to support the development of new wind farms. The shortfall has also been recognized by Belgium, which is in exactly the same situation.

ControlandreliabilityThe Meewind investment fund has been issued with a permit by the AFM (the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets). This means that the fund satisfies all the requirements of the Act and that Meewind is subject to the strict supervision of the AFM and the policies of the Dutch National Bank (Nederlandsche Bank).

These benefits make participation in Meewind a safe investment, with a projected yield of 7-10% over the entire duration of the fund (20 years). The costs of interest and debt repayments will result in a lower cash return during the beginning of the operational period. However, as the costs of debt decline over the years, returns will rise sharply as time goes on, especially during the final 5 years, when the bank debt has been fully repaid.

The first phase of the wind park construction consists of 55 wind turbines with a total capacity of 165 MW.

Once operational, the park will save 270,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year. It will be located 46 km off the

Belgian coast, adjacent to the area designated for the development of wind farms by the Netherlands.

Participation in this phase is still possible.
