The Breeveertien II site has a potential capacity of 350MW and can deliver electricity to about 260,000 households. It is located 60km off the coast to the west of IJmuiden in the North Sea.
Eddie O’Connor, CEO, said: The Dutch market is important for Airtricity and we are delighted to have gained exclusivity for a second offshore site in Dutch waters. The Breevertien II wind farm will commence construction in 2012 and we look forward to working with the Dutch Government on both these projects.
