Offshore platforms and HVDC cables are excluded from the scope, as these will be tendered separately, it added.
However, TenneT said that other offshore HVDC grid connections with a capacity in the range of 2GW or more in the Netherlands and in Germany may become part of the scope.
A four-year contract is envisaged, with the possibility of four one-year extensions, the document said.
Interested parties have until 2pm local time on 25 November to apply.
