With 8000 planned homes in the next twenty years, Strandeiland is one of the largest future city districts in Amsterdam.
Located on the IJburg Bay, with a 750-metre long city beach and on the south side a rugged natural edge on the IJmeer, this is a new part of Amsterdam… and it’s one with strong circular ambitions.
To provide all the buildings in the area with energy, a substation is needed to convert higher voltage into lower voltage electricity that can be transported to the different neighbourhoods.
Studies show that up to 2030, six to eight new electricity substations are needed to facilitate the growth and sustainability of the city.
