The renewable project developer Crosswind (a joint venture between Shell and Eneco) has announced the successful completion of the 759 MW Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind project located at 18.5 km off the west coast of the Netherlands near Egmond aan Zee. The Dutch developer Van Oord was contracted by CrossWind for the design, engineering, procurement, transport and installation of the 70 wind turbines (of 11 MW each supplied by the German manufacturer Siemens Gamesa) that encompass the project. The project is expected to generate at least 3.3 TWh/year.
The Netherlands targets 21 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 70 GW by 2050. As of end-2021, approximately 2.5 GW of offshore wind energy had been fully commissioned (3.2 GW in 2022 according to preliminary estimates). Currently, more than 2 GW of onshore and offshore wind power are under construction in the Netherlands, and nearly 13 GW are under development.
