In March 2022, the Dutch government designated Nederwiek as one of three new offshore wind energy areas in the North Sea, alongside Lagelander and Doordewind, creating the Nederwiek Wind Farm Zone that includes the 2 GW Nederwiek Noord II site. This designation doubled the country’s planned offshore wind capacity to around 21 GW by 2030 and provided the spatial framework for later site‑specific development such as Nederwiek II.
