Vattenfall and TenneT have signed a 700MW grid connection agreement for the Hollandse Kust Zuid 3&4 project off the Netherlands.
The developer is building the project out alongside the 700MW Hollandse Kust Zuid 1&2, which it signed a connection agreement with TenneT for last year.
“This is an important milestone and I am happy that the contracts were signed so quickly, just nine months after winning the bid,” said Vattenfall head of offshore wind Catrin Jung.
Grid connection work for the Hollandse Kust 1&2 segment of the project is due to start next year, with 3&4 to follow in 2022.
“The development of the grid at sea is clearly gaining ground,” said TenneT offshore director Marco Kuijpers.
“Hollandse Kust Zuid is the second wind farm area that we will open up with two standardised alternating current connections.”
TenneT will deliver onshore substations, offshore substations and all export cables for the project.
