Premier Mark Rutte talked with his Chinese colleague Li Keqiang amongst others about the collaboration between China and the Netherlands aound sustainable energy. This was part of the trade mission to China with Lilianne Ploumen (minister of foreign trade and development cooperation) on 15 and 16 November.

Oranjewoud is doing a feasibility study of Dynamic Tidal Power together with Dutch and Chinese companies. It’s about an energised water defence for more than 30 kilometers long with a great amount of turbines that can generate at least 5 GigaWatt of energy. Rutte sees this project as an example of outstanding collaboration between both countries.

Oranjewoud is one of the companies that campaigns globally for tidal energy. The project in China is a perfect example. Closer to home, Oranjewoud is very active in making possible a Tidal Testing Center Grevelingendam.
