Eneco has won the tender for the planned Maasvlakte 2 wind farm. The tender process was held by Rijkswaterstaat, the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Eneco will build a wind farm with a capacity of more than 100 MW on the sea wall of Maasvlakte 2.
The new wind farm will generate around 416 GWh of green power, corresponding to the energy consumption of 138,000 households.
Eneco expects to start the preparations for the construction in 2022, which would mean that the wind farm could start producing green power in 2023 at the latest, for a period of 25 years. As of 2023, Rijkswaterstaat will purchase all the green power generated by the wind farm.
