In this first PhD. project that is part of AIRE, the dynamic in the configuration of systemic
conditions affecting implementation is analysed, to explain the difference in performance on
the wind power supply market of the main types of windmill entrepreneurs in the Netherlands,
i.e. the electricity sector (energy distributors), small private investors (mainly farmers),
co-operatives, and new independent wind power producers. In particular, the coincidence
between changes in institutional and social conditions and the presence of differential
adaptive behaviour is emphasised in the analysis. The origination and composition of the wind
power project market is explained.
The analysis is based on interviews with key stakeholders on the Dutch wind power market
including senior policy makers at different ministries, civil servants both on provincial and
municipal level, different wind power entrepreneurs and renewable energy consultants. A
survey among members of the ‘Association of Wind Turbine Owners North Holland’
(WNWH) (mainly farmers) in the Province of North Holland is used to complement data on
this entrepreneurial group. The analysis is complemented with an extensive literature and
document study. Data on the number of projects, turbines and total capacity installed are
based on the KEMA wind monitor and are complemented with data from Wind Service
Holland.
