Eight Onshore Stations to be Connected to 2GW Offshore Wind Grid Link in the Netherlands
TenneT has appointed Dura Vermeer, BAM Infra Nederland and Visser & Smit Bouw to carry out the civil engineering works for the connection of as many as eight onshore stations for a 2GW Offshore Wind Grid Link in the Netherlands. The agreement can be extended, should new 2GW projects be declared during the contract period. The basic design of the land stations has been made and upon starting work in 2024, they will be involved in creating detailed designs. This is due to be completed by 2026 and is key to the energy transition from offshore that will enable Europe becoming a climate-neutral continent.
Summary
- TenneT has selected Dura Vermeer, BAM Infra Nederland and Visser & Smit Bouw for the civil engineering works for the construction of the land-based stations for the 2GW HVDC grid link for offshore wind projects in the Netherlands.
- From 2024, TenneT will realise the connection of offshore wind farms according to a new 2GW standard.
- Work on the land stations will start in 2024 with an expected first delivery of civil engineering work in 2026.
