The Dutch government, via the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and Minister for Climate and Energy Rob Jetten, awarded the offshore wind permit for Hollandse Kust (west) Site VII to Oranje Wind Power II, a subsidiary of RWE, on 10 November 2022. This subsidy‑free permit, later confirmed as irrevocable in April 2023, authorises RWE’s OranjeWind project to build and operate a large‑scale offshore wind farm of over 760 MW about 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast.
