Nederwiek I-A

What's Happening

The tender for the Nederwiek I-A offshore wind site closed on 30 October 2025 without any bids, reflecting rising sector costs and weaker developer appetite for long-term power purchase agreements. The Dutch government has since shelved the original two-site tender approach in favor of a single, subsidy-backed site auction.

NEXT MILESTONE — A restructured, SDE++-subsidized tender covering Nederwiek IB, Nederwiek II and Nederwiek III is expected to open, with a combined subsidy budget of roughly EUR 2.5 billion under discussion.

Hiring Outlook

No developer has been awarded this site yet — the failed 2025 tender and the shift to a subsidized model mean any hiring activity here is still well over a year out.
