On 25 April 2024, the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate informed Parliament that the expected commissioning date of the 2 GW wind farm at Doordewind Site I was postponed from 2031 to the fourth quarter of 2032 due to major spatial challenges along the grid connection routes, including the Wadden Sea crossing and the final section to Eemshaven. The update, reflected in later planning tables, links the delay directly to the complexity of developing the Doordewind offshore HVDC grid connection (including the Doordewind 1 link) and notes that landfall options are being investigated within the PAWOZ‑Eemshaven programme, leaving the timing of the landfall still uncertain.
