Press release Eurus Energy Marks the 1 GW Milestone in Europe as Windpark Spui in the Netherlands Starts Operation Amsterdam, the Netherlands – 1 July 2019 Eurus Energy Group (“Eurus”), a leading Japanese renewable energy company, announced today the start of commercial operation of Windpark Spui, a 21 MW wind farm located in the municipality of Hoeksche Waard in South Holland, the Netherlands. Windpark Spui consists of five Enercon E-126 EP4 wind turbines, each with a hub height of 135 meters, a rotor diameter of 127 meters and a rated power of 4.2 MW. The construction of the wind farm has been managed by YARD ENERGY, with Enercon acting as the project EPC contractor. The power generated at Windpark Spui, which will be sufficient for supplying renewable electricity for more than 24,000 households, will be sold to Eneco Group. YARD ENERGY will remain in the project as a minority shareholder. With the successful completion of the construction of Windpark Spui, the total capacity of Eurus’ wind farms in Europe now stands at 1,020 MW, passing the 1 GW milestone.

This results in 137 species, which is 41% of all species that occur in the Netherlands. The species of priority are: Andrena rosae, A. labialis, A. wilkella, Bombus jonellus, B. muscorum and B. veteranus. Potential species of priority are: Andrena pilipes, A. gravida Bombus ruderarius B. rupestris and Nomada bifasciata. Threats to bees are: scaling up in agriculture, eutrophication, reduction of flowers, pesticides and competition with honey bees.

(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland. The small, stocky woman visiting the stricken province is Queen Wilhelmina. Without turning a hair she allows herself to be carried over the waters.

The Effect of Four New Floodgates on the Flood Frequency in the Dutch Lower Rhine Delta
The Effect of Four New Floodgates on the Flood Frequency in the Dutch Lower Rhine Delta Hua ZHONG *, Peter-Jules Van OVERLOOP ** , Pieter Van GELDER *, Xin TIAN ** * Section of Hydraulic Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft, University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, [email protected], [email protected] ** Section of Water Resources Management, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft, University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The Dutch Lower Rhine Delta, a transitional area between the Rivers Rhine, Meuse and the North Sea, is at risk of flooding induced by infrequent events of storm surges or fluvial floods, or the combination of both. To protect the delta from storm surges, it can be closed off from the sea by large dams and controllable storm surge barriers. Also, along the branches of the rivers controllable floodgates are operated to regulate the fluvial discharge. A former study quantified the flood frequency derived from three different sources that potentially may cause a flood and indicated that high water levels was mainly caused by the simultaneous occurrence of storm surges and Rhine floods. In the present water operational management system, the Haringvliet gates and the Maeslant Storm Surge Barrier with the Hartel Storm Surge Barrier should be closed in time when the simultaneous extreme event occurs, and therefore the extreme fluvial flow that accumulates during the closure would result in a very high water level within the delta area. Moreover, this frequency will increase significantly in the context of climate change.

Bij de wereld in gebreke blijf ik naar het water aarden; mag ik met het water spreken, ademen zijn ademhalen, zijn voorzeggingen vertalen. By the water born, by the current reared, a hidden power to hear, its tidings, its demands, And repeat them, stammering, I keep the bond.

Voorendt, Delft University of Technology published by Bee’s Books, Amsterdam series: Delta Technology, Design & Governance Cover page: graph from the Delta report, part 1 (1960) PREFACE This report is part of my research on the ’structural evaluation of multifunctional flood defences’. The research is part of the programme on ’integral and sustainable design of multifunctional flood defences’ which is supported by the Dutch Technol- ogy Foundation STW, which is part of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Re- search (NWO), and is partly funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. This pro- gramme is one of the ’Perspective’ programmes that are organised within consortia of research institutes and users. The research programme consists of several projects in which various aspects of mul- tifunctional flood defences are studied. These include technical aspects (strengths and loads), safety philosophy, governance, architecture and financial aspects. For details of the programme, one is referred to the project proposal (see the information on www.flooddefences.org). The current project on structural evaluation is being carried out under supervision of promoter prof.drs.ir. Han Vrijling and with advice from ir. Wilfred Molenaar, dr.ir. Jarit de Gijt and dr.ir. Klaas Jan Bakker, all working at Delft University of Technol- ogy. The research project is externally supported by Witteveen+Bos (especially ir.
