Orsted and TotalEnergies have joined forces to jointly submit bids for the two offshore wind leases on offer in the Hollandse Kust West zone off the coast of the Netherlands.
The wind farms are located approximately 53km off the Dutch coast and have a combined capacity of nearly 1.5GW.
The winners of the tenders are expected to be announced by the Dutch government in the Autumn.
Orsted Continental Europe region head Rasmus Errboe said: “We are very pleased with our partnership with TotalEnergies for the upcoming Dutch tenders.
“With our joint bids we want to ensure the Netherlands can accelerate its offshore wind build-out towards 2030 and beyond, in a state-of-the-art ecologically friendly manner and as part of an integrated energy system.
“Orsted looks forward to making a significant contribution to the energy transition in the Netherlands, together with TotalEnergies.”
TotalEnergies VP offshore wind Olivier Terneaud said: “The energy transition brings new challenges, both in terms of environmental impact and integration of green energy into the power system.
“It’s precisely to meet these challenges that we’re participating in these tenders, together with Orsted, to support the energy transition in the Netherlands, where we draw on more than half a century of Dutch offshore operational experience to be a reliable energy partner.
“As a global multi-energy company that places sustainable development at the heart of its strategy, we’d be delighted to realise these innovative projects.”
