Consent Variation Awarded

On 6 August 2025, the Dutch government amended the site permit for IJmuiden Ver Beta (Zeevonk) to address the delay of the Delta Rhine Corridor hydrogen pipeline, formally allowing phased construction of 1 GW in 2029 and 1 GW in 2032. The revised consent reduces mandatory system integration capacity to 500 MW with commissioning in 2033, converts the 50 MWp offshore solar obligation into a 6 MWp pilot by 2028 with optional scale-up to 50 MWp, and halves Zeevonk’s total permit payment from €800 million to €400 million with a reprofiled payment schedule; the amended permit and an associated authorisation agreement on enforcement of the two construction phases were published in the Government Gazette later that month and became irrevocable in October 2025.
