This comes in line with the ambition of the Dutch government to establish 75 GW offshore wind capacity by 2050, that poses key challenges for transporting electricity produced to shore in the Netherlands and for coping with intermittency.

The project proposal "Facilitating Large Scale Offshore Wind Production by Developing Offshore Storage and Transport Alternatives" is coordinated by professor of Energy Law Martha Roggenkamp, University of Groningen, in the PhD@Sea programme.
