The RVO had no further information, but Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf cited an economics ministry spokesman as saying that it looks like the wind industry via the tender has taken an important step towards cost reduction.

The price cap in the tender for the construction and the operating permit of two 350MW arrays at Borssele, some 22km off the coast of Zeeland in the south of the Netherlands, was €124 ($139) per megawatt hour of electricity produced.
