The perfect match
OranjeWind offshore wind farm is a joint venture project by RWE and TotalEnergies. The 795 MW wind farm will be located 53 kilometers from the Dutch coast. The wind farm is planned to be fully operational early in 2028. It will provide electricity for the equivalent of one million Dutch households.
To tackle the challenges of fluctuating power generation from wind and flexible energy demand, OranjeWind will be a blueprint for the integration of offshore wind farms in the Dutch energy system. A combination of smart innovations and investments will be used to realise this perfect match between supply and demand.
Unlocking system integration
Together, RWE and TotalEnergies will invest in new electrolyser capacity, e-boilers and EV-charging solutions across different locations in the Netherlands.
Aside from these investments, a selected group of innovators and start-ups is offered the opportunity to demonstrate their innovations in a working project to accelerate the commercial application of new technologies.
Knowledge and important lessons learned in the project will be actively shared with educational institutes, research institutes and the market, to even further accelerate the energy transition through the OranjeWind Knowledge programme.
Project status: under construction
