TotalEnergies and Ørsted have partnered to submit joint bids for two offshore wind leases, Hollandse Kust (west) (HKW) sites VI and VII, located approximately 53 km off the Netherlands’s west coast and containing two wind project sites, with a total area of 176 km2, which will accommodate 700 MW of offshore wind power capacity each as of 2026.
In April 2022, Vattenfall announced that it would bid for the two sites, partnering with BASF for Site VI, while SSE Renewables and Brookfield set up a 50:50 partnership to jointly bid for the two leases. Earlier in May 2022, BP and a consortium of Shell and Eneco submitted bids for the two leases. A decision on who won the tender is scheduled in the second semester of 2022.
