Lighting the way ahead together.

Get in touch

As a TSO, TenneT develops, manages and maintains the critical infrastructure that transports electricity from producers to regional grid operators, industrial users and major consumers. In addition, TenneT plays a key role in connecting offshore wind farms to the onshore electricity system, making the company an essential enabler of the energy transition in the North Sea.

TenneT’s Dutch Offshore Grid Expansion: Strategic Relevance for Ocean Infinity

TenneT is at the centre of the Dutch offshore wind build-out. Its current focus is on delivering the offshore transmission infrastructure that will connect the next generation of North Sea wind farms, particularly IJmuiden Ver, Nederwiek and Doordewind, to the Dutch high-voltage grid.

Our involvement

01

Doordewind (DDW)
Location: Dutch North Sea

The Doordewind offshore wind area will be developed in the northern part of the North Sea. With a capacity of 4 gigawatts, it will supply green electricity to millions of households and businesses. TenneT will connect the wind area to the electricity grid through two underground cable systems, each with a capacity of 2 gigawatts. This will be carried out with careful consideration for people and nature and in close cooperation with local stakeholders.

02

HKZ Alpha & HKZ Beta Offshore Substations

both substations form 700 MW grid connections for the Hollandse Kust Zuid offshore wind farm, located approximately 18–36 km off the Dutch coast. The substations collect electricity generated by the wind farm and transmit it to the Dutch high-voltage grid.

Akira Energy supports TenneT by providing offshore client representative services, including offshore supervision and execution support for the Offshore Grid NL programme.

03

Nederwiek 3 Offshore Grid Connection

The Nederwiek 3 offshore grid connection is being developed to transmit approximately 2 GW of offshore wind capacity from the Dutch North Sea to the onshore high-voltage grid at Geertruidenberg. The connection is also planned to integrate with LionLink, a proposed hybrid interconnector that will combine the transmission of offshore wind energy with electricity exchange between the Dutch and British grids.

Akira Energy supports TenneT’s Offshore Grid NL programme by providing offshore client representative services, supervision and execution support during offshore operations.

ENERGY GATEWAY

The 2GW Program

TenneT is developing the 2GW offshore grid programme to connect large offshore wind farms in the Dutch North Sea to the national high-voltage grid.

Using standardized HVDC connections, each system can transport around 2 gigawatts of renewable electricity from sea to shore. Current work is focused on key locations such as Borssele/Sloegebied for IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Nederwiek 1, the Maasvlakte for IJmuiden Ver Beta, IJmuiden Ver Gamma and Nederwiek 2, and Eemshaven for the future Doordewind connections.

The programme is central to TenneT’s role in the Dutch energy transition: it creates the offshore transmission backbone needed to bring large volumes of wind power ashore and support the electrification of industry, ports and households.
