Ecowende is a joint venture between Shell, Chubu and Eneco. In December 2022, Ecowende won the right to construct and operate the Hollandse Kust West (HKW) offshore wind site VI located in the Dutch North Sea. This project will have a direct impact in accelerating the energy transition and meeting the climate accord targets agreed by the Dutch Government. The successful delivery of this project will position The Netherlands as a global leader in offshore wind, delivering high quality and ecology-friendly projects in a timely and safe manner.

The project team will deliver the execution phase of the project successfully: safely, on time, within budget and at a quality standard. The first power is planned for Q2 2026, and the handover to Operations team is planned for Q4 2026.

The project scope includes Wind Turbines (Vestas V236 type), foundations (incl. cathodic protection), 66kV array cables, SCADA and network systems, Ecology packages and other owner’s systems like fiscal metering etc. The Point of Connection (PoC) with the Transmission Service Operator (TSO, TenneT) is the 66kV cable terminations at the offshore substation. The offshore substation (including the 66kV switchgear and export transformers), export cables and the land station are constructed and operated by the TSO.

The Ecowende Ecology scope, which is the differentiating factor in the bid, includes measures to minimize the negative effects of wind farm development on birds, bats and sea mammals, and to strengthen the fish and benthic community. A significant research and knowledge sharing program is part of the bid promise.
