Wind Energy – Netherlands
BP has submitted bids to develop two offshore wind power leases in the Netherlands, Reuters said on Thursday.
BP has bid in the tender process for two wind farm sites at the Hollandse Kust (West) zone, located 53 kilometres off the Netherlands’ west coast with a potential 1.4-gigawatt power capacity.
BP said it would invest 2 billion euros ($2.1 billion) in more clean energy projects in the Netherlands if it is successful in the bids, which include a commitment to spend 75 million euros on ecological monitoring in the North Sea.
