Regulatory Other

On 17 March 2023, TenneT published the final phase 2 decisions (definitieve besluiten fase 2) for the Net op zee IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore grid connection. The publication made the final decisions available for public inspection and opened the formal appeal window during which stakeholders could review the final permits and decisions and, if desired, submit appeals to the Raad van State. This is distinct from the preceding public consultation on the draft phase 2 decisions (ontwerpbesluiten fase 2), which was the formal comment period held in October 2022 prior to the final decisions being issued. Classified as regulatory_other because the publication of final decisions for appeal is neither a public_consultation (which is pre-decision draft-for-comment) nor a planning_consent_awarded event in the usual sense — it is the formal notification step that follows the consent decision and triggers the appeal period. Phase 2 of Net op zee IJmuiden Ver Beta covered the supplementary spatial and permit decisions needed alongside the phase 1 inpassingsplan that took effect on 3 June 2022.
