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).
