“By preparing an extensive package of site data, RVO derisks the path for development of Offshore Wind Farms in the Netherlands” , said Hugo Swane , Project Manager at RVO.
“The seabed data will now be used as input for the upcoming geotechnical investigations at Doordewind and for constructing an Integrated Ground Model, while the deliverables will also be published for use by the participants in the permit tenders for the offshore Wind Farm Sites.”
The Doordewind wind farm zone is located approximately 77 kilometres off the north coast of the Netherlands and will house the first offshore wind farm that will connect to Eemshaven. The total wind farm area is about 580 square kilometres and is planned to support a total installed offshore wind capacity of 4 GW, divided over two sites of 2 GW each, Doordewind I and Doordewind II.
The first Doordewind site is planned to be put up for auction in 2027, with the commissioning expected in 2032.
