Zeevonk, a joint venture of Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners through its Energy Transition Fund, has been awarded a permit to build wind farm IJmuiden Ver Beta in the Netherlands. This 2 GW offshore wind project will include a 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm on site and a new electrolyzer at the Port of Rotterdam which will convert electricity of IJmuiden Ver to green hydrogen.
“The Netherlands is taking yet another major step forward in the energy transition with IJmuiden Ver. Combining wind, solar and hydrogen, this project will create a state-of-the-art energy system and support further decarbonization of industries and our society. We are extremely proud to have been awarded this permit and look forward to implementing our plans for this energy park together with CIP,” says Martijn Hagens, CEO Vattenfall Netherlands.
Zeevonk concerns the realization of a 2 GW offshore wind farm, 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm and a large-scale electrolyzer. The new electrolyzer will be built at the Maasvlakte at the Port of Rotterdamwhich and produce hydrogen, which can help to decarbonize industries and transport. Green hydrogen will play a key role in replacing fossil fuels and feedstock.
