Discover more about Vader Piet Wind Farm

Located in Savaneta, Aruba, the Vader Piet Wind Farm is a striking example of sustainable energy production harmonizing with the island's natural landscape. Inaugurated in December 2009, it was Aruba's first wind farm and a significant step towards the country's goal of transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The farm consists of ten 3 MW Vestas V90 wind turbines, each standing 80 meters tall, contributing approximately 15% of Aruba's annual electricity demand. Visitors can observe these colossal structures and learn about wind energy through informational displays. The site provides a unique vantage point, contrasting the mechanical elegance of the turbines with the serene Aruban coastline. The wind farm not only generates clean energy but also symbolizes Aruba's commitment to a sustainable future. While there are no formal tours of the facility, the location offers a compelling glimpse into the workings of a modern wind farm. It's a popular spot for photographers, especially during the early morning or late afternoon when the light enhances the visual impact of the turbines against the sky. Expansion plans are underway to potentially triple the wind energy production by adding new, more efficient turbines.
