Shell-Eneco JV brings zero-subsidy Dutch offshore wind farm online

CrossWind has announced that the 759MW Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind farm became operational today (20 December).

Lying in the Dutch North Sea, 18.5km off Egmond aan Zee, the subsidy-free Shell-Eneco joint venture's project project comprises 69 Siemens Gamesa SG 11.0-200 DD turbines.

It is expected to deliver at least 3.3TWh annually, equivalent to 2.8% of the country’s electricity demand.
