Research into the redevelopment of the Amsterdam coal-fired power station

Energiestad is an initiative of Amsterdam entrepreneur Finn Dudok van Heel and is supported by engineering consultancy firm Witteveen+Bos and area developer Heijmans. These parties would like to conduct research into the sustainable transformation of the power station and the associated site in collaboration with Vattenfall. They have submitted a proposal to Vattenfall for this purpose. The starting point of the proposal is the preservation of the existing buildings, structures and infrastructure, which should enable a sustainable and profitable transformation. 'Redevelopment of this unique piece of heritage could really add value to the city. It would be a shame to demolish this power station without first investigating its potential', says Dudok van Heel, initiator of Energiestad. For more information click in the Link.
