Offshore wind energy deployment in the North Sea by 2030: long-term measurement campaign. Lichteiland Goeree, 2014-2021
report
The North Sea plays a key role in the transformation to meet the European offshore wind plans of 75 GW by 2030. To further meet the revised European frameworks for 2050, the national government of the Netherlands has further increased its envisioned installed offshored wind energy capacity targets, by designating new areas of development to facilitate the large scale deployment of offshore wind. The Netherlands continues its strong pace of offshore wind development, now reaching a total installed capacity of approximately 3 GW as of 2021. TNO performs for The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy measurement campaigns in the North Sea from 2014 until 2030 at different strategically locations. Currently, the locations of the measurements are at the Lichteiland Goeree platform (LEG), Europlatform (EPL) and Wintershall Noordzee B.V. platform K13a, under the project ‘2022 Wind Conditions @ North Sea”. TNO is responsible for the entire life cycle during the measurements: from the installation plan at the platform to the purchase and selection of the instrumentation, monitoring, maintenance of the instrumentation, analysis, reporting and dissemination of the data. This report presents the overview of the measurement campaign at the LEG platform for the period 2014-2021 with a specific focus for the year 2021.
