The 760 MW offshore wind farm, which will be built approximately 53 kilometres off the coast of IJmuiden, will be able to produce enough electricity to meet around 3 per cent of the current demand for electricity in the Netherlands.
In December 2023, Eneco announced that the company signed a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for the yet-to-be-built offshore wind farm with the supermarket chain Albert Heijn , which plans to meet half of its power needs through the PPA as of 2027.
Ecowende has also just signed a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) with Google for the Hollandse Kust West VI offshore wind farm. As reported on 1 February, Google has reserved 478 MW of energy capacity from two offshore wind farms currently owned by Shell and Eneco in the Netherlands to help the company’s Dutch data centres and offices reach more than 90 per cent carbon-free energy in 2024.
