네덜란드에 전 열차가 바람의 힘으로 개발된 전력공급체계로 전환됐다고 가디언지가 NS 철도 콘체른의 발표내용을 토대로 보도했다.
"1월 1일부터 전 열차가 풍력에너지로 운행된다"고 토나 부나 회사 공보실장의 말을 언론이 인용해 보도했다. 또 풍력발전소 시속 에너지는 200km 거리 열차 주행에 충분하다고 밝혔다. 이로써 네덜란드는 전 열차가 풍력으로 운행되는 세계 최초 국가로 기록됐다고 신문은 평가했다. 출처 스푸트니크

All Dutch electric trains are now powered by wind energy, the national railway company NS has said .
“Since 1 January, 100% of our trains are running on wind energy,” said NS spokesman, Ton Boon.
Dutch electricity company Eneco won a tender offered by NS two years ago and the two companies signed a 10-year deal setting January 2018 as the date by which all NS trains should run on wind energy.
“So we in fact reached our goal a year earlier than planned,” said Boon, adding that an increase in the number of wind farms across the country and off the coast of the Netherlands had helped NS achieve its aim.
Eneco and NS said on a joint website that around 600,000 passengers daily are “the first in the world” to travel thanks to wind energy. NS operates about 5,500 train trips a day.
One windmill running for an hour can power a train for 120 miles, the companies said. They hope to reduce the energy used per passenger by a further 35% by 2020 compared with 2005.
