Monday 7 February, 19:30-22:00, start presentation 20:00

Energy island "Westralia"

Chris Westra gives us a look at wind turbines in the North Sea. He a simple proposition: put them out to sea.

Chris Westra has been involved in wind energy developments for some 50 years. He spent 20 years researching the introduction of solar and wind power at the University of Amsterdam. At the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands, ECN, now TNO, he developed and led the first integrated R&D programme offshore wind energy (We@Sea).

He wrote several books, articles and brochures on wind energy. The "Wind Workbook" published in 1980 sold 30,000 copies and in 2014 he published the coffee table book: Offshore Wind Energy.

Now he is working with leading parties to get a multifunctional, ecologically sound energy island "Westralia" *) on the Dutch part of the North Sea done as soon as possible.
