The N05-A platform will run entirely on wind energy from the nearby Riffgat offshore wind farm. With the final permit, the Dutch government gives the go-ahead for the production of natural gas from the N05-A field and surrounding fields in the North Sea. The N05-A platform location is in the North Sea, about 20 kilometres north of the islands of Borkum, Rottumerplaat and Schiermonnikoog.
