Hempel’s contribution to the booming Dutch renewables industry
Hempel has cemented its relationship with project owner TenneT by coating two of its offshore wind stations.
During its project with TenneT and HSM Offshore BV, Hempel has broken new ground in more ways than one. The Netherlands is giving offshore windfarms an ever-greater share in its energy mix. By 2023, the Dutch government intends to connect 3,500 MW of offshore wind power from Borssele, Dutch coast (west) and Dutch coast (north) to the mainland. TenneT is the developer and operator of the Dutch high-voltage grid on land and at sea, so it has been given the job of collecting this new energy and transporting it safely to shore.

The challenge

The solution
In a happy coda to this project, Hempel won the job of coating the second substation for which HSM Offshore BV has responsibility – a good indication, no doubt, of the customer’s confidence in our work. Hempel will provide a further 40,000 litres of paint for this project.
