Grid operator TenneT, through contractor NRG, started horizontal directional drilling under the dunes on Maasvlakte on 26 May 2025 to create ducts for electricity cables that will bring offshore wind energy from the North Sea ashore in the coming years. The drilling spans roughly 200 metres from inside the dike towards the beach, marking the beginning of onshore civil works for landing the offshore wind export cables at Maasvlakte.
