The proposal from the mayor and aldermen to the city council is to “designate Lage Weide as a focus area for wind energy, in which the first developments will be started.” In addition to the industrial area, a series of other areas are designated as search areas for wind energy. This concerns Ockhuizen, Haarzuilens, the Noorderpark, the Voordorpse Veld and the Utrecht Science Park. The council has tasked itself with removing obstacles that stand in the way of wind energy at those locations.
