Offshore wind energy in the Netherlands: 2008: 228 MW (1 th round) 2013 – 2015: 950 MW (2 nd round) 2015 – 2020: 5000 MW (3 th round) 2020 – 20??: 15.000 MW future

3.
Implementation 6000 MW and more…

4.
Water policy plan: 2010 – 2020 Place for 6000 MW Spatial planning (& ship safety) Conclusion: far offshore “ IJmuiden Ver”

Ambition of the Dutch neighbors at sea <ul><li>Germany: </li></ul><ul><li>1500 MW in 2011 and </li></ul><ul><li>25.000 MW in 2030. (Pilot Alpha Ventus) </li></ul><ul><li>United Kingdom: </li></ul><ul><li>At present 600 MW in operation </li></ul><ul><li>1500 MW under construction </li></ul><ul><li>‘ Round 3’: 25.000 MW </li></ul>

6.
With this ambitions, there is a need for islands at sea: <ul><li>to build and maintain offshore wind turbines on locations far at sea </li></ul><ul><li>building stones for an European offshore electrical grid </li></ul><ul><li>test site for offshore pilot wind turbines </li></ul><ul><li>international service point for offshore wind energy </li></ul>

Our vision for the future <ul><li>development of harbors to facilitate the large scale implementation of offshore wind energy at the North Sea </li></ul><ul><li>contribute and accelerate the implementation of offshore wind energy </li></ul><ul><li>cooperating with U.K. and DE to find strategic sites at the North Sea to build artificial islands for offshore wind power </li></ul><ul><li>contribute to the development of a European offshore electrical grid </li></ul>

Artificial islands fit well in the development of an European offshore grid
