Year-precision projection — full commercial operations (1 GW COD) by end-2034. Aligned with Gamma-A COD anchor: Gamma-A and Gamma-B are tendered together in the 2026 round under the Temporary Support Mechanism Offshore Wind Energy (TOWOZ) and share a single TenneT 2 GW HVDC offshore platform; the two sites are developed in parallel and therefore have the same projected timeline. Reasoning: - RVO states the IJmuiden Ver Gamma-A and Gamma-B wind farms 'are expected to start generating energy from 2032' (RVO news page, 9 April 2026, via offshorewind.biz). - First-power-to-full-commercial-operations lag is typically 12-24 months for a 1 GW offshore wind farm depending on turbine commissioning cadence and weather windows. - Per the convention to persist the later end of projection windows for pre-FID schedules ('go later'), full-power COD year-precision = 2034. - Previous DB anchor (2033-12-31) was inherited from PBL pre-tender advisory material that pre-dated the April 2026 RVO confirmation and the Gamma-A 2034 anchor — pulled into alignment.
