Offshore wind resources at the North Sea – Lichteiland Goeree, 2014–2024
report
The Netherlands has set clear ambitions to accelerate the energy transition. By 2050 all energy
used in the country shall come from sustainable sources and offshore wind energy plays a vital
role in the transition to a carbon-free energy supply. The government has defined a roadmap
for the Dutch offshore wind portfolio aiming to expand to 21 GW by 2032. By the end of 2023
an installed capacity of 4.7 GW was already achieved, surpassing the original goal of 4.5 GW.
Several wind farms with a combined capacity of 6.5 GW are currently under construction in the
wind farm sites Hollandse Kust West and IJmuiden Ver. The Netherlands is moving ahead with
almost yearly tendering rounds for upcoming development areas. Tenders for the Nederwiek
wind farm site are expected to start in late 2025.
