Belgium-based Parkwind currently holds a 46% stake in Northwester 2, while Colruyt owns 30%, Incontrol 14%, and TTR has a 10% share.
The agreement has enabled the developers of the farm to expedite activities and prepare for financial close by next year.
The project will allow the Belgian Government to add affordable offshore wind energy to the country’s future energy mix, and help realise European 20/20 Climate target commitments.
Upon completion, Northwester 2 will be able to power 220,000 Belgian homes and reduce around 500,000t of carbon emissions.
