On 24 July 2024, RWE and TotalEnergies confirmed that they had taken the final investment decision to build the OranjeWind offshore wind farm (Hollandse Kust West VII) in the Netherlands. The press release states that a final investment decision has been taken for the 795 MW project, located about 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast near IJmuiden in the province of Noord-Holland. The partners, each holding a 50% stake, have already selected key suppliers for turbines, foundations and inter-array cables. With FID secured, RWE will lead development, construction and operation on behalf of the joint venture, with offshore construction scheduled to start in 2026 and full commissioning expected in early 2028.
