Posted 3 June 05
SHELL and Dutch energy group Nuon have gained government approval to build the Netherlands’ first offshore windfarm with a €200m ($246m) investment programme, writes Martyn Wingrove.
A 36 wind turbine project will be built, 10 km off the coast of Egmond aan Zee by joint venture NoordzeeWind and construction contractor Ballast Nedam.
Shell and Nuon will spend € 200m to install the wind turbines and subsea cables starting in the fourth quarter of this year and continuing into the autumn of 2006.
