BRITAIN'S RENEWABLE FOR NETHERLANDS 1.4 GW
ENERDATA- 28 Apr 2022 - The UK renewable group SSE Renewables and Brookfield have set up a 50:50 partnership to jointly bid in the tenders for the Hollandse Kust West (HKW) wind project zone in the Netherlands. Located approximately 53 km off the west coast of the Netherlands, the full area is auctioned in two separate tenders (Site VI and Site VII), which will accommodate 700 MW of offshore wind power capacity each. To win the tender for Site VI the bidding parties have to include ecological measures in their concept, whereas Site VII requires investments and innovations which are beneficial for the Dutch Energy System. The tenders for both sites close on 12 May 2022. A decision on who won the tender is scheduled after summer. First power generation is scheduled expected in 2026.
Earlier in April 2022, Vattenfall announced that it would bid for the two sites, partnering with BASF for Site VI.
