FLOW Consortium

 

Dutch industry and knowledge institutes are pioneering a large scale innovation program for the development of offshore wind energy. The Far and Large Offshore Wind program (FLOW) consists of an ambitious R&D plan, and a demonstration wind farm 75 km off the Dutch coast, in 35 meters water depth. At this moment no wind farms at such distance from the coast in such water depth exist in the world. The FLOW program will enable companies in The Netherlands to claim a leading position on the international market for offshore wind energy. The program is being developed by a consortium consisting of RWE, Eneco, TenneT, Ballast Nedam, Van Oord, IHC Merwede, 2-B Energy, XEMC Darwind, ECN and TU Delft.

Offshore wind energy is one of IHC Merwede’s focal points. The company has grouped together all its expertise in the area of offshore wind energy in a specialized centre of excellence ‘IHC Offshore Wind Energy’.
