RWE has won the permit to build a large-scale offshore wind farm at the Hollandse Kust West (HKW) VII site in the Dutch North Sea through the subsidy-free tender launched in the Netherlands in April.

The Germany-based developer placed a bid through its project company Oranje Wind Power II and proposed a 760 MW offshore wind farm which is planned to provide surplus electricity to power green hydrogen production on land and to incorporate floating solar panels to allow a more efficient use of ocean space.
