Discover offshore wind

RWE is a global leader in the development, realisation and exploitation of offshore wind farms. Our aim is to help achieve the sustainability objectives in the Benelux too. The Dutch government’s ambition is to generate 21 gigawatts by 2030, around 50 gigawatts by 2040 and around 70 gigawatts by 2050 via offshore wind turbines.

The Belgian government is striving to achieve an installed power of 5.8 GW by 2030. It is expected that this will be increased to 8 GW by 2040.

The announcement that we are allowed to build the wind farm OranjeWind confirmed recently that our many years of knowledge and expertise is unique.

RWE Benelux’s Offshore team is growing. From our office in Utrecht, we and our motivated team are working on our ambitions for the Benelux. If you want to play an active part in the energy transition too, check out our current vacancies.

Offshore wind farms have an impact on nature. We strive to ensure that the negative effects are as limited as possible. In fact, we are committed to ensuring that the wind farms make a positive contribution to nature.

The growth of offshore wind therefore calls for ecological innovations that have a positive effect on the ecosystem below the line. That is why we are experimenting with solutions to boost nature. Under water, for example, we are using artificial reefs to ensure that marine life is positively encouraged. Above water, we conducted research into, among other things, how a black blade of a wind turbine reduces bird mortality.

RWE is committed to accelerating innovative solutions in the field of sustainable energy by collaborating with companies and startups on matters such as specific research questions and pilot plants.
