The Netherlands’ Long-Term Offshore Wind R&D Agenda

Recently  The Netherlands’ Long-Term Offshore Wind R&D Agenda was presented at the Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference in the RAI in Amsterdam. With the recent cost breakthroughs, offshore wind is now established as a crucial pillar of the Dutch energy transition. Developing an affordable, low-carbon energy system in the Netherlands necessitates a large-scale roll-out of offshore wind power capacity in the Dutch part of the North Sea – to potentially 35-75 GW by the year 2050. The Netherlands’ Long-Term Offshore Wind R&D Agenda proposes the development of the knowledge and technologies on the lower technology readiness levels (TRLs), that are considered indispensable to such a large capacity of offshore wind power. The agenda spans the R&D period 2020-2030.
