Mattia Cecchinato , Senior Advisor Offshore Wind at WindEurope , emphasized that flexibility of realization is not only a Dutch problem but is rather widespread : “There is a 2030 bottleneck. Flexibility of realization is important. Many governments are applying this. What we ask is that the volumes are put in the market and then let the industry coordinate because that allows doing things at the right time. It allows the industry to coordinate various contracts with these forms of innovation that sometimes require time.”

Next up is the electrification roadmap which would match the offshore wind roadmap, accounting for all different aspects that need to be done, however, the one big crucial element missing is the development of demand, therefore the Netherlands needs policy and instruments to pull up demand.
