Supporting Organizations

New Energy Coalition is a network and knowledge coalition that is committed to a smart and successful transition to the sustainable energy system of the future, in the Netherlands and the rest of the world. The foundation is a triple-helix organization funded by public and private parties as well as knowledge institutions. The organization was created in 2017 when three renowned energy institutes merged: Energy Academy Europe, Energy Valley and Energy Delta Institute. This created a comprehensive coalition of knowledge and educational institutions, leading companies and governments.

Sustainability based finance, made in Luxembourg, is the core of our business philosophy. We believe that there is no planet B and we need to preserve the one we all call our home.

We provide ESG centred corporate finance advice in funding and executing energy saving and green energy generation solutions, on an “as a service basis”. Energy transition, to scale and speed, will only happen if private finance, will engage, as it did throughout the ages.

We are a privately held tradition values partnership driven by working partners, who pride themselves in providing intellectual excellence on a “clientes” (Latin for “protection of those in your trust”) based engagement formula. Our multilingual staff, with a deep know-how base supports our clients succeed in their endeavours.

Islands Laboratory at UCL is a hub of researchers from different disciplines (mathematics, computer science, law, economics, environment, anthropology, engineering, architecture) who merge their powers to deliver cutting edge research, with he aim to understand essential connections between energy resource nexus, the environment, economy and society and how to research them. To achieve important global goals, such as those embodied in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), related to wellbeing, health, economic development, equity, we will simultaneously need better management and governance of natural resources everywhere.

Islands Laboratory have the following objectives:

• Conduct interdisciplinary research on climate change, through whole energy systems dynamic modelling and resource nexus approaches; 
• In-depth insights in transforming islands into 'sustainable circular hubs' to accelerate the transition to a sustainable environment and circular economy
• Insights and guidance for disaster risk management both man-made (e.g. plastic waste) and natural disasters (e.g droughts, heatwaves, floods)
• Knowledge transfer through (i) professional courses for decision makers, businesses and investors, industry and public sectors, and (ii) teaching courses for students

WES is manufacturing small wind energy systems which IP rights were purchased from the original Lagerwey LW wind turbine technologies in 2004 at that time the technologies were installed mainly for farmers in the Netherlands, WES replaced the control system and power conversion with modern, remote-monitored technology and continued to develop, support and sell this successful wind turbine on five continents under the name WES.

The turbine’s typical two-bladed rotor has a unique hinged system and a passive blade angle adjustment. This unique, robust mechanism guarantees a high efficiency and requires only simple and minimal maintenance.

The WES wind turbine has proven itself a durable, reliable high-performance solution. The first turbines have been operational since 1983, are still going strong and continue to generate energy for their owners. Since the familiar box shaped blue nacelle of the WES turbine was designed in the early 1980s, over 1000 units of the turbine have been installed around the world in agricultural locations, universities, on islands, in small communities and at coastal and mountainous sites.

It is the goal of Wind Energy Solutions to remain the global market leader in the growing market for midsize wind turbines.
