en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Dutch government has raised the bid price caps for the IJmuiden Ver Gamma-A and Gamma-B offshore wind farms, each with a capacity of approximately 1 GW. This adjustment to the Dutch offshore wind tender aims to allow developers to more fully assess electricity pricing mechanisms, grid connection costs, and changing market conditions when participating in the bidding process.

Under the latest arrangement, the maximum price for IJmuiden Ver Gamma-A has been increased from €104 per MWh to €117 per MWh, while the maximum price for Gamma-B has been raised from €103 per MWh to €116 per MWh. The tenders for the two 1 GW offshore wind farms are scheduled to open on November 26, 2026, and close on December 10. Relevant construction and operation permits are expected to be awarded in the first quarter of 2027.

Following the adjustment to the Dutch offshore wind tender, project developers will submit proposals within the new price caps. The government stated that market consultations indicate continued bidding interest for both sites. As the two 1 GW offshore wind farms enter the tender preparation phase, demand for supply chain components such as wind turbines, offshore foundations, submarine cables, offshore substations, installation vessels, and long-term operation and maintenance services will continue to be released.
