TenneT's Onshore Link for Three New Dutch Offshore Wind Areas Nearing Completion

The installation of underground electricity cables at the Maasvlakte industrial and port area in Rotterdam, which will connect three new offshore wind sites to the Dutch grid, is inching toward completion.

Following the final drilling operation, the remainder of the cables will be installed, with all onshore cables projected to be in place by 2027, Dutch government-owned transmission system operator (TSO) TenneT has shared.

The last horizontal drilling will take place near the Coloradoviaduct on the N15, along the cable route between the Amaliahaven high-voltage substation and the converter station for IJmuiden Ver Beta.

The onshore cables will serve the IJmuiden Ver Beta, IJmuiden Ver Gamma as well as the Nederwiek 2 offshore grid connections, where each one will bring approximately 2 GW of electricity ashore.
