- RWE wins the tender for the 700MW Hollandse Kust West 7 site.
- The wind farm is located more than 50 kilometres off the Dutch coast.
Oranje Wind Power II, a subsidiary of RWE, has won the tender for the 700MW Hollandse Kust West 7 site. The project is one of the two new wind farms to become operational in the Dutch North Sea in 2026.
The wind farm is located more than 50 kilometres off the Dutch coast.
Netherlands’ Minister for Climate and Energy, Rob Jetten, said: “This new wind farm is another major step in making the Netherlands more sustainable. It will produce enough electricity to meet the needs of approximately one million households annually. Wind energy is also vital for companies and industries increasingly electrifying their installations, replacing fossil fuels and raw materials.”
He added, “with this project, the Netherlands are making another concrete step towards achieving the goal of 21GW of offshore wind energy around 2030.”
