🌬️ Look what the wind blew in – statistics from Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) show that over half of electricity production in the Netherlands now comes from renewable sources, marking the seventh month this year that renewable energy produced more than fossil fuels. 🍃 A combination of strong winds and a significant increase in offshore wind turbines led to a doubling of wind energy production last month leading to a 23% increase compared to September last year. ☀️ And it’s not just the wind turbines. Due to the growing number of solar panels, solar panel production grew more than 7%. Overall this is a key milestone representing a strategic move to reduce fossil fuel reliance, as well as supporting climate commitments on both a national and European level. 🏙️ Amsterdam continues to lead in the energy transition, with half of its rooftops covered in solar panels and home to one of the most sustainable ports in the EU, demonstrating its commitment to addressing environmental challenges and fostering a sustainable future. 🔗 Find out how key facts and figures about what Amsterdam is doing to combat climate change here: https://lnkd.in/e95P3Ve2 #SustainableAmsterdam #GreenEnergy #GreenAmsterdam #EnergyTransition
