2016 ANNUAL LETTER
MORE ENERGY
by Bill Gates

At some point today, you’ll probably do one or all of these things: Flip a switch for light. Take fresh food from a refrigerator. Turn a dial to make your home warmer or cooler. Press a button on your laptop to go online. You probably won’t think twice about any of these actions, but you will actually be doing something extraordinary. You will be using a superpower—your access to energy. Does that sound ridiculous? Just imagine, for a minute, life without energy.

Triodos Sustainable Finance Foundation has taken a 15% stake in the online investment platform Duurzaaminvesteren.nl. With this cooperation both parties aim to increase the investment options in renewable energy for private investors.

Dutch investors YARD ENERGY and Maas Capital (a subsidiary of ABN AMRO bank) will realise two wind farms in Finland. The Dutch wind turbines, with a total capacity of 27.5 MW, designed and assembled by Lagerwey in the Netherlands, will deliver power to over 20.000 households in Finland by the beginning of next year.
