By 2023, the new wind farm off the coast of Egmond aan Zee should be fully operational and soon after that, it could supply green electricity to a million Dutch people. This is possible thanks to the combined capacity of 759 MW and an annual yield of at least 3.3 TWh. The consortium CrossWind, a joint venture between Shell Nederland and Eneco, won the ‘Hollandse Kust (Noord)’ tender<\/a>. Both parties emphasize that the construction will take place “without any government subsidies”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wind farm can make a substantial contribution to the objectives of the Dutch Climate Accord and the European Green Deal, Shell and Eneco say in a statement. The wind farm will be located 18.5 kilometres off the Dutch coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ups and downs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, the offshore wind farm will include five specific technological innovations that are expected to be used on a large scale in the future: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
