IJmuiden Ver Beta-2 is the second 1 GW tranche of the IJmuiden Ver Beta (Zeevonk) project, defined by the 6 August 2025 Wijzigingsbesluit (Staatscourant 2025, 28710) which split the original 2 GW Zeevonk permit into Phase 1 and Phase 2 tranches. The Phase 2 obligations are held by Zeevonk Phase 2...

Following an August 2025 amendment to the IJmuiden Ver Site Beta permit and publication of an authorisation agreement detailing the two construction phases and revised system-integration and payment obligations, the Zeevonk permit for IJmuiden Ver Beta became irrevocable on 17 October 2025, making the development rights for the phased 2 GW Zeevonk offshore wind project legally secure.

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.

By March 2025, Fugro completed the offshore geophysical survey programme for Vattenfall at the IJmuiden Ver Beta (Zeevonk) wind farm site. The campaign ran from January through March 2025 onboard M/V Kommandor Iona, covering analogue geophysical and UXO survey works (dual Eiva Scanfish III arrays). CP Geo-Services provided offshore client representative supervision and QC/QA throughout. Completion of the campaign delivered the geophysical evidence base for layout refinement and constraints mapping at the 2 GW Zeevonk site and supported subsequent UXO consultancy (NjordIC) and geotechnical work feeding into foundation design and cable-route engineering ahead of Phase 1 construction.

In January 2025, Fugro began an offshore geophysical survey programme for Vattenfall at the IJmuiden Ver Beta (Zeevonk) wind farm site in the Dutch North Sea. The campaign mobilised the survey vessel M/V Kommandor Iona and acquired analogue geophysical datasets supported by dual Eiva Scanfish III arrays. The programme also incorporated UXO survey works as part of the analogue scope to identify and manage potential unexploded ordnance hazards within the site and along relevant corridors. CP Geo-Services Ltd provided offshore client representative support, supervising operations and performing QC/QA on behalf of Vattenfall. The survey supported development-stage decision-making by providing the geophysical evidence base needed for layout refinement, constraints mapping and risk reduction ahead of foundation and cable installation activities under the phased Zeevonk delivery plan.

On 11 June 2024, Zeevonk (the Vattenfall + Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners joint venture) was awarded the right to develop the IJmuiden Ver Beta wind farm site by the Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy. Under the Dutch Wet windenergie op zee, the kavel permit combines the site lease (right to occupy and develop the seabed plot) with the development consent in a single ministerial decision — the Site Decision (Kavelbesluit) being the prior step and the permit award being the operative grant. The permit covers a 2 GW offshore wind farm, an associated 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm on site, and a large-scale electrolyser at the Maasvlakte at the Port of Rotterdam, to produce green hydrogen for industrial offtakers in the Rotterdam port cluster. The permit was later amended on 6 August 2025 to allow phased construction (1 GW by 30 November 2029 and the remaining 1 GW by 30 November 2032).

By 11 June 2024, Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its Energy Transition Fund I, had formally established Zeevonk as a joint venture to develop the IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind project in the Netherlands. The Vattenfall press release describes Zeevonk as a joint venture in which the two companies "have joined forces" for the purpose of developing, constructing and operating the 2 GW IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind farm and an associated large-scale electrolyser. The project will also include a 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm and a new electrolyser at the Port of Rotterdam to convert electricity from IJmuiden Ver into green hydrogen. CIP will work with Copenhagen Offshore Partners as its exclusive offshore wind development partner within this joint venture structure.

On 11 June 2024, the Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy granted the permit for IJmuiden Ver Wind Farm Site Beta to Zeevonk II, a joint venture of Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. The site permit authorises development of a 2 GW offshore wind farm including a 50 MWp floating offshore solar component and a large-scale electrolyser at the Port of Rotterdam to convert part of the wind farm’s output into green hydrogen.

Between 29 February and 28 March 2024, Zeevonk II C.V., a joint venture of Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, submitted its permit application in the Dutch tender for IJmuiden Ver Wind Farm Site Beta. The application sought the site permit to build, operate and decommission the 2 GW IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind farm under the procedure run by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).

Vattenfall announced that it would participate in the Dutch IJmuiden Ver offshore wind tender with the ‘Zeevonk’ bids for both the Alpha and Beta sites, confirming its intention—together with a partner for Beta—to compete for development of the IJmuiden Ver Beta project with a system-integration focused concept.

The Netherlands Enterprise Agency published the Project and Site Description for IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta, including the Summary Environmental Impact Assessment for Site Beta, mapping environmental impacts and key constraints for construction, operation and removal of turbines and the grid connection for the IJmuiden Ver Beta wind farm.

On 6 December 2023, the Dutch Minister for Climate and Energy signed Kavelbesluit kavel Beta windenergiegebied IJmuiden Ver under the Offshore Wind Energy Act (Wet windenergie op zee), formally designating kavel Beta in the IJmuiden Ver wind energy zone (approximately 60 km off the Dutch North Sea coast) as the seabed location for an offshore wind farm with a planned installed capacity of approximately 2 GW. The decision was published in the Staatscourant on 28 December 2023 as Stcrt. 2023, 35270. The Kavelbesluit is the Dutch legal instrument under the Wet windenergie op zee (effective 1 July 2015) that formally designates a specific seabed plot for offshore wind use, establishing the basis for the subsequent tender. The Beta tender was awarded in April 2024 to the Zeevonk consortium (Vattenfall, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners) under a qualitative criteria scheme combining offshore wind with electrolyser-based green hydrogen production. A Wijzigingsbesluit signed 6 August 2025 (Stcrt. 2025, 28710) subsequently amended the kavelbesluit to allow a two-phase build.

The IJmuiden Ver wind farm zone, located about 62 kilometres off the Dutch coast with water depths between roughly 17 and 47 metres, was designated as a wind energy area in the National Water Plan environmental assessment by Royal Haskoning, establishing the broader zone that later included the IJmuiden Ver Beta site.
