The Netherlands will hold a second 700MW subsidy-free offshore wind tender in March 2019, the country’s energy ministry confirmed.

The Dutch government will use a similar approach with the Hollandse Kust South 3&4 offshore zones as it did with its last tender for the same development area’s 1&2 zones earlier this year, the world's first planned subsidy-free process which saw Sweden’s Vattenfall scoop all the capacity on offer.
