NETHERLANDS – Tennet is on course to achieve the 2030 offshore expansion target.

TenneT has announced that they are on course to achieve the 2030 offshore expansion target. Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium have agreed to install at least 65 gigawatts of offshore wind energy together by 2030.  At 40 gigawatts, almost two-thirds of this are accounted for by TenneT, with 20 gigawatts each in the German and Dutch North Seas.

According to Tennet, Energy Ministers from the members of the North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC) and the European Commission have recently announced a significant increase in their collective ambition for the deployment of offshore renewable energy until 2050. The challenge is immense: This new approach will provide both growth opportunities and maximum planning security for all supply chains involved.

According to the company, they plan to agree to second cooperation with key market partners for a period of up to eight years. This agreement covers the 525 kV subsea cables for laying between the offshore converter platforms in the North Sea to the coast, as well as the underground cables from the coast to the onshore converter stations.
