Get StartedThe Port of Amsterdam has received the first floating solar units for an offshore solar farm. These solar units will soon integrate with existing wind farms, forming one of the world’s largest offshore solar projects and highlighting Amsterdam’s leadership in sustainable energy.
They will form part of the solar farm that will be installed in the Hollandse Kust Noord Offshore Wind Farm in 2025. Oceans of Energy was contracted by CrossWind, owner of the Hollandse Kust Noord Offshore Wind Farm, last year to install and run the floating solar farm in the wind farm.
Oceans of Energy celebrated a milestone in their offshore floating solar project last week when the first solar floaters arrived in the Port of Amsterdam. They will form part of the solar farm that will be installed in the Hollandse Kust Noord Offshore Wind Farm in 2025.
The installation forms part of an ongoing project that will see a solar farm, supplied by Dutch solar company Oceans of Energy, deployed at The Hollandse Kust Noord offshore wind farm, which is located 22 kilometers into the Dutch North Sea. The project is being billed as the world’s first offshore solar plus offshore wind project.
The first floating solar units for the Hollandse Kust Noord (HKN) offshore solar farm have arrived at the Port of Amsterdam. Developed by Oceans of Energy, these floating solar panels will be integrated with the CrossWind HKN offshore wind farm, creating one of the world’s largest offshore solar installations in the North Sea.
Oceans of Energy deployed the world’s first offshore solar farm, a 50 kW modular PV system, in the Dutch North Sea in 2019. A report from DNV GL in December 2020 predicted that the North Sea could host around 100 MW of floating solar capacity by 2030, and 500 MW by 2035.
