Could the Dutch dash for offshore wind become a victim of its own success?

Efforts to ramp up offshore wind capacity are often surrounded by concerns over hitting targets, but in the Netherlands there are also fears that its tendering system could become a victim of its own success by moving at a pace that leaves demand and the supply chain behind.

Shallow waters, a sandy seabed and strong average wind speeds helped Holland become an early mover in offshore wind and successive government have continued fine-turning tender rules.
