In the Development Framework for Offshore Wind Energy published on 5 February 2025, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy formally recorded that the Doordewind Wind Farm Zone will be connected to the onshore high‑voltage grid at Eemshaven using high‑voltage direct current (HVDC) technology, with Doordewind Site I (and Site II) listed with Eemshaven as the onshore connection site. The framework confirms that zones such as IJmuiden Ver, Nederwiek, and Doordewind will use 2 GW HVDC connections due to their distance and capacity, thereby codifying Eemshaven as the planned landing point for the Doordewind 1 offshore grid connection within the national regulatory planning regime.
