The transmission system operator for the Netherlands, Tennet, has recently signed a grid connection agreement with DONG Energy, after winning the public tender by the government for the first two areas in Borssele of 700 MW.
By signing the above-mentioned agreement with TenneT, the transmission system operation for the Netherlands, will allow for the transmission of power from the Borssele wind farm to TenneT’s Borssele Alpha platform.
In this way, the full connection of an offshore wind farm is formalised to supply energy to the Dutch grid. This is considered to be the first offshore connection, which will be operational in 2019, in order for DONG Energy to deliver the wind energy through our high voltage grid to the Dutch households.
