SSE and APG’s joint-share Noordzeker consortium are moving forward with the 2 GW Alpha offshore wind tender site in the IJmuiden Ver Wind Farm Zone in the Netherlands.
Subject to reaching a Final Investment Decision, expected by next year, the wind farm would be commissioned by the end of the decade. SSE Renewables would build the project on behalf of the SSE-APG consortium.
Last month the Dutch Government awarded the Noordzeker consortium the rights to a pre-developed and fully consented offshore wind site in the Dutch North Sea. The consortium is entering into the 40-year lease period for the Alpha site.
In addition to being fully consented, the awarded site also benefits from a confirmed grid connection to the Netherlands’ national grid which will be separately developed and constructed by TenneT.
