This wind farm, located along the E25 motorway in Damré – approximately 100 km from Brussels – will have five wind turbines producing between 32 and 38 MWh/year.
Sarens will work on behalf of Nordex on the installation of the five turbines, including the unloading of the components, with loads of between 17 and 65 tons, and lifting operations of up to 83 metres.

The new Sprimont onshore wind farm, which is currently being built along the E25 highway in the vicinity of Damré in the province of Wallonia, will be able to produce renewable energy for more than 10,000 households in the region, and contribute to offsetting 16% of the CO2 emissions produced in the municipality. Thus, it will directly contribute to the 40% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions that the local council aims to achieve in its climate plan.
For the development of this project, several divisions of Sarens BE NV and Sarens France have moved their
The creation of the new onshore wind farm at Sprimont is part of Belgium’s efforts to decarbonise its energy generation sources. In fact, according to data from the consultancy GlobalData, wind energy already accounted for 15% of all electricity produced in the country by the end of 2023, an upward trend that will be reflected in the coming years in an increase in installed capacity of 23% between 2024 and 2035, at an annual rate of 7%.
According to Bert Kustermans, Project Manager at Sarens, ‘We are very happy to be involved in such an important project for the province of Wallonia. Being able to transfer all the experience Sarens has gained in international onshore wind projects of all types and sizes allows us to optimise our efforts to the maximum and ensure that the work in which we take part at Sprimont will be carried out in the safest and most efficient way. We are proud to play our part in the decarbonisation of Belgian energy’.
Sarens has extensive experience in the lifting, transportation and installation of turbines for windfarms around the world. Also in Belgium, Sarens installed six new wind turbines at the Siemens Gamesa facilities located in the municipalities of Gesves and Ohey. In Belarus, in sub-zero temperatures, Sarens installed the tallest Vestas wind turbines in Asmolovichi. At the Glenn Innes wind farm in New South Wales, Sarens installed the tallest wind turbine towers in Australia.
