About Us

At Dutchwind BV, we are dedicated to providing high-quality used wind turbines to clients worldwide. As specialists in the field, we offer a range of second-hand wind turbines with capacities ranging from 50 kW to 5000 kW. Our used wind turbines are primarily sourced in Europe, but we have also been successfully offering used (60 Hz) turbines from North America for several years.

We understand that purchasing a used wind turbine is not just a financial investment, but a commitment to sustainable energy solutions. That’s why we work closely with companies that offer complete refurbishment, service, re-installation, and commissioning services for used wind turbines. Whether you’re looking for a single turbine or a full-service project, we are here to help.

Dutchwind BV was founded by Maurik Ankersmit in 2003. Maurik began selling used turbines as more and more clients showed interest in second hand wind turbines. The reasons are that the quality of these used turbines is usually good, the delivery times are short and, of course, their prices are very attractive.

Our mission

We believe that it makes economical and ecological sense to re-install used wind turbines. It has been a big effort from society to create the wind energy business.

A lot of public money has been invested. It is, in our opinion, our duty to try and make the life time of wind turbines as long as possible. Exporting relatively older wind turbine models to countries who are in earlier stages of the energy transition seems like a logical choice. We therefore hope that many more countries will open up and import and install used wind turbines.

We are referring to countries in Africa and South America where relatively cheap, second hand wind mills could avoid a lot of CO2 emission. So our business has become a mission as well. We are truly sorry if technically sound wind turbines end up in the scrap yard. We see this happening too much and we pride ourselves in preventing such waste of materials by helping both the seller and buyer in relocating the wind turbines for an extended lifetime in another country.

Who are we?

Maurik has studied economics at the university of Amsterdam. Before he founded Dutchwind he was employed as Area Manager in Australia and New Zealand for the Dutch wind turbine manufacturer Lagerwey.

Reinold Disse joined Dutchwind in 2009, bringing with him a wealth of logistics and procurement experience from working at several large international companies. As a co-owner of Dutchwind, Reinold is committed to providing the highest level of service to clients in the wind energy industry.

The trading in used wind turbines is an exciting job. We enjoy our work and always look forward to meeting our clients whenever we go on a turbine inspection. The knowledge of giving green energy producing wind turbines a second life elsewhere is inspiring to us and we look forward to assisting you in your wind energy business.
