Renewable energy consultancy OWC, subcontracted by DHI, has successfully completed a wind resource assessment for the 6GW Nederwiek Wind Farm Zone in the Dutch North Sea.
The final report for the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) detailing the findings has now been published.
The objective of OWC’s scope of work was to support DHI and the Dutch authorities in defining the wind resource potential at identified zone to come under an upcoming competitive tender.
The Nederwiek Wind Farm Zone is approximately 100km from the west mainland coast of the Netherlands.
The Dutch Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth has currently identified four potential sites for development within the area.
The four sites have a potential combined capacity of 6GW.
The tender procedure for a permit for the construction and operation of a wind farm at the first site Nederwiek I-A will be held in third quarter 2025.
The array will start supplying energy from 2030-2031.
OWC’s head of wind and site Okan Sargin (pictured) said: "Building on our proven track record of supporting offshore wind tendering processes globally, including our recent involvement in the IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta Wind Farm Zones, OWC continues to deliver high-quality technical and advisory services for both fixed and floating wind projects.
"As part of the DHI team, we are proud to have contributed to the wind resource assessment for the Nederwiek Wind Farm Zone, which has been certified to meet the stringent requirements of Section 2.3.2 site condition assessment of the DNV-SE-0190:2023-03 standard.
"This certification underscores the rigour and quality of the work conducted by OWC, supporting this pivotal phase in the development of Dutch offshore wind."
