Mechelen (Eurotoday Newspaper): Ecopower plans a 230m wind turbine in Mechelen-Noord, producing 11M kWh and cutting 4,000 tons of CO2 yearly. Information events will be on January 22 & 28.
Ecopower has been a renewable energy cooperative since more than three decades ago, and the funds from its projects came from citizen’s investments. Recently, they agreed to build the wind turbine to be installed near the Vrouwvliet pumping station that is located near Mechelen-Noord on Flemish Environment grounds. The permits for this have already been sent. This initiative is part of Eco power’s mission to support sustainable energy production, continuing their work on renewable energy projects in the region

The turbine will be 230 meters tall, much taller than the local water tower and almost two and a half times the height of the Sint-Romboutstoren.
