Posted to Maritime Reporter on June 11, 2024

In the biggest wind tender to date, the Dutch government awarded permits for the development of offshore wind farms totaling 4 gigawatts off the coast of the Netherlands.

They said that Vattenfall, a Swedish energy company, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, a clean energy fund manager, had been selected to develop IJmuiden Ver beta, a wind farm with a capacity of 2 GW, through a joint-venture called Zeevonk.

The company announced that SSE Renewables can bid on a site with a capacity of 2 GW, IJmuiden Ver Wind Farm Alpha. This is through a consortium including Dutch pension fund ABP, and APG as its asset manager.

SSE stated that the consortium is now working to refine their project in order to make a progress decision, which will be needed by July of this year. A final investment decision will be made on the project by the end of 2025.

Dutch government launched the tender for IJmuiden Ver earlier this year, with a total capacity of 4 GW. Next year, a third site, Gamma, at IJmuiden Ver will also be up for bid.
