Year-precision projection — Final Investment Decision by end-2026. Reasoning on public information: - Original developer guidance (SSE/APG, 9 Jul 2024) targeted FID 'by late 2025'. The realisation agreement with TenneT for the grid connection was signed on 3 Feb 2025. - SSE plc HY26 interim results (12 Nov 2025) do NOT disclose FID on IJmuiden Ver Alpha. Minister Hermans is in talks with the Noordzeker consortium about realisation per energeia.nl (1 Oct 2025). - The original late-2025 target is therefore missed. FID is most likely to land in 2026; year-precision conservative anchor = 2026-12-31.
