Development of offshore wind farms in the
Netherlands
Between 2015 and 2030 the
following wind farm zones will be developed in the North Sea: Borssele, Hollandse Kust (zuid),
Hollandse Kust (noord), Hollandse Kust (west), Ten Noorden van de Waddeneilanden and
IJmuiden Ver. This will bring the total capacity to 11.5 GW.
On this website you can find
all available site data on soil, wind & water conditions and obstructions
of the wind farm zones. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl) is
responsible for the collection of the site data which provide information for
FEED studies and make competitive bids in the permit tenders possible.
Once new information is available we will organise workshops, webinars and/or
send a newsletter to inform you. Minutes and presentations can be found
separately.
Want to be kept informed? Register
for newsletters, invitations for workshops and webinars by sending your contact
details to woz@rvo.nl.
