Vattenfall will participate in the offshore wind farm tender for Hollandse Kust West (HKW) Sites VI and VII, partnering with BASF for Site VI. The Hollandse Kust West wind farm zone is located approximately 53 kilometers off the west coast of the Netherlands.
The full area is auctioned in two separate tenders (Site VI and Site VII). Each of the two sites will accommodate 700 megawatts of offshore wind power capacity. To win the tender for Site VI the bidding parties have to include ecological measures in their concept, whereas Site VII requires investments and innovations which are beneficial for the Dutch Energy System. The tenders for both sites close on May 12, 2022. A decision on who won the tender is expected after summer.
