Year-precision projection — permit and 35-year lease equivalent for Nederwiek (zuid) kavel I-A expected to be awarded to the future winning tenderer in 2028. The RVO master Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap (last checked 6 May 2026) lists Nederwiek I-A permit procedure and commissioning both as 'To be determined'. After the October 2025 zero-subsidy tender drew no bids and the January 2026 subsidy slot was reassigned to IJmuiden Ver Gamma-A (joined by IJV Gamma-B in April 2026), Nederwiek I-A has no scheduled retender; the earliest plausible window is under the Dutch Contracts for Difference regime, which the same RVO page states is planned to launch towards the end of 2027. Consolidated assumption (mirrors the four other projections on this site): retender 2028, permit/lease award 2028, construction start 2032, first power 2034, COD 2035. The award will follow the standard Dutch mechanism in which RVO, on behalf of the Minister of Climate Policy and Green Growth, issues a single 35-year permit covering both site rights and operational consent for the kavel.
