The IJmuiden Ver Beta will arise approximately 62 kilometres off the Dutch coast and, with its 2 GW capacity, sets a new standard in the development of the offshore energy transition and the reduction of fossil fuels, said Iv.

TenneT plans to build the connections for future offshore wind farms according to its new 2 GW standard. With this new standard, the power generated offshore will be brought ashore via a High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) connection, with land substations as the link between wind farms and the high-voltage grid. The transmission system operator (TSO) awarded land station contracts this February.
