Through a green energy and hydrogen production investment programme, TotalEnergies intends to decarbonise its industrial activities in the Zeeland province.

Zeeland is due to come online by 2027 with 600MW of electrolysis capacity. The cluster will be powered entirely by the Holland Coast West wind farm.

TotalEnergies will also aim to ensure the stability of the Netherlands’ national power grid.

TotalEnergies Offshore Wind vice-president Olivier Terneaud said: “The energy transition brings new challenges, both in terms of environmental impact and integration of green energy into the power system.

“It’s precisely to meet these challenges that we’re participating in these tenders, together with Ørsted, to support the energy transition in the Netherlands, where we draw on more than half a century of Dutch offshore operational experience to be a reliable energy partner.”

In a separate development, Ørsted has agreed to acquire the 121MW Ford County Wind onshore wind farm in Illinois, US, from funds managed by Ares Management Corporation.
