Swedish energy company Vattenfall AB is going ahead with building one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms and the biggest without government subsidies.
The 1,500-megawatt Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm off the coast of the Netherlands combines two projects that it won tenders for in 2018 and 2019. The utility’s decision to proceed is a signal that major renewable power projects can be built without state aid.
The massive wind farm may be the biggest in the world when it becomes fully operational in 2023.
