On 9 July 2024, SSE Renewables and APG/ABP’s Noordzeker consortium confirmed that, following the June 2024 tender award for the IJmuiden Ver Alpha offshore wind site in the Dutch North Sea, they are entering into the 40-year lease period for the Alpha site. The lease arrangement, which follows the Dutch Government’s award of rights to the pre-developed and fully consented site, involves an annual payment of around EUR 1 million. This confirms that the seabed lease for the approximately 2 GW IJmuiden Ver Alpha (Noordzeker) project has now taken legal effect, enabling the consortium to move forward with development under long-term site access rights.
