Scottish and Southern Energy plc (SSE) has entered into an agreement with DONG Energy to form a 50:50 joint venture to take forward the development of three offshore wind farms, with a total capacity of just over 1,000MW (megawatts), which SSE has the right to develop in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. The consented projects are: Den Helder I, Breeveertien II and West Rijn wind farms.
The timing of future developments and any investment decision will be dependent upon, amongst other things, the extent of the financial support for offshore wind farms available from the Dutch government through its renewables support mechanism.
