Your contribution to TenneT
2GW Offshore Wind Program
More offshore wind energy is needed to achieve the climate goal of a 55% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030. In 2022, the Government raised the target for offshore wind capacity from 11 to 21 gigawatts (GW) by 2030/2031. Achieving this target means offshore wind farms will supply 16% of Dutch energy needs. It also equates to approximately 75% of our current electricity consumption.
Our electricity consumption is, however, expected to increase. Therefore, we will need even more offshore wind to be developed after 2030. Future scenarios for energy systems (supply and demand) and the North Sea Energy Outlook (Noordzee Energie Outlook) indicate we will need between 38 and 72 GW of cumulative offshore wind capacity by 2050.
TenneT has committed to a 2GW program to realize at least 14 2GW HVDC Grid Connection Systems that bring the power from the offshore wind farms in the North sea into the Dutch and German electricity grid in the period up to 2031. These Grid Connection Systems consist of an onshore substation and an offshore substation.
