The Netherlands plans to boost offshore wind farms fourfold and curb energy use as it seeks to revive a faltering economy and secure future power supplies.
The nation plans to increase to 4,450 megawatts wind farms at sea by 2023 from about 1,000 megawatts installed or under development currently, the government said in documents on its website. It will also add onshore wind as it seeks to get 16 percent of its energy from renewables by the same year from 4 percent now, it said.
