First Power

DELAYED +0mo (Apr 2026): TenneT’s 8 June 2023 ‘Offshore Wind Energy in the Netherlands’ workshop presentation provides an updated master programme for IJmuiden Ver Alpha, explicitly scheduling the first energisation of the Grid Connection System on 1 September 2028. This aligns with the developer’s current 2GW programme planning and there is no newer official source revising this date, so the first_power milestone is set directly to 1 September 2028 as per TenneT. --- TenneT’s updated master programme for the IJmuiden Ver Alpha 2 GW HVDC grid connection schedules the first energisation of the Grid Connection System (GCS) on 1 September 2028, marking the initial power flow and system energisation on the offshore-to-Borssele HVDC link ahead of later contractual milestones.
