The Jan 2026 Ontwikkelkader windenergie op zee (Development Framework for Offshore Wind Energy, adopted by the Minister Jan 2026), Section 2.2 Table 1 (Sequence for development of offshore wind energy), lists the row 'Nederwiek Site I-B**' with capacity approx. 1.0 GW, tender window 'Q2 – Q4 2026', and expected commissioning '(Q4 2031)'. Initial generation (first power) for the site is anchored at end-Q4 2031 using the official roadmap commissioning quarter as best-available proxy. The Q4 2031 expected commissioning sits one year after I-A's Q4 2030 framework date — consistent with the staggered build-out of the two 1 GW lots that share the Nederwiek 1 platform. The note ** in the framework records that the original Nederwiek I 2 GW site was split from 1 x 2 GW to 2 x 1 GW lots (I-A and I-B).
