1 The Netherlands Offshore wind hub Opportunities for green hydrogen and electrification of industry Mel Kroon, CEO TenneT WindDays 2018

2 Strategy 2002: strenghten and build One strong, independent transmission grid Expansion cross border connections One cross border high voltage grid Strenghten the Dutch electricity grid 2

3 A leading TSO in Europe Asset base ( bn) Staff 276 4,068 Connections (km) 2,686 22,500 Offshore connections (km) 0 4,700 X 20 X 15 X 8 Offshore platforms 0 12 Investments (10Y): 28 bn 3

4 Strong development offshore wind COP21 : radical change in electricity generation mix 230 GW offshore wind capacity, 180 GW to be developed in the North Sea in 2050 WindEurope forecast 70 GW offshore wind capacity in the North Sea in 2030 PBL forecast 60 GW offshore wind capacity in the Dutch part of the North Sea in

5 Phase I: (+3.5 GW) 3.5 GW: 5 x 700 MW Standardized concept AC connections Year Capacity Area MW Borssele MW Borssele MW Hollandse Kust (zuid) MW Hollandse Kust (zuid) MW Hollandse Kust (noord) 5

6 Phase II: (+7 GW) 2024/2025: 1.4 GW HKWest 2026: 0.7 GW Ten Noorden van de Wadden 2027/2030: 4 GW IJmuiden Ver To be determined: 0.9 GW 700 MW AC (standard concept) New: DC connection system 6

7 The crowded North Sea Nature & Fishing Existing wind farms Flight paths helicopters Complex sailing routes Military areas Pipelines and cables Oil and gas platforms Many interests, a careful balance necessary 7 7

8 Converters: jacket or island? Artificial island as hub for DC offshore infrastructure 8

9 Connecting NL and UK windfarms HVDC connection between IJmuiden Ver and East Anglia (WindConnector) Announced today: joint study by Vattenfall and TenneT 9

10 Roll out of +7 GW offshore wind According to current government policy, this can be facilitated by TenneT Total offshore wind in 2030: 11.5 GW Growth offshore wind impacts onshore 10

11 Conclusion: grid +GW offshore wind DC connections Deep inland (cross border?) DC connections and system changes AC and DC connections AC and DC stations in coastal zone AC connections +4.5 No measures needed 0 11

12 Additional measures needed Preventing long-distance transport (deep inland crossings) Security of Supply Making other sectors more sustainable Stimulate demand, support price Balancing 1. Electrification industrial processes 2. Conversion 3. Storage 12 12

13 1. Electrification industrial processes TenneT facilitates electrification Growth of supply of sustainable energy in balance with new demand for energy Peak demand NL 2017: GW 2030: ~20.8 GW (without electrification industry) Accelerating in coastal areas; where wind energy comes ashore, less transport capacity Hybrid systems create flexibility

14 2. Conversion In 2030: production green hydrogen of approx. 3-4 GW Hydrogen contributes to (further): Balancing Security of Supply Stimulates power demand, supports price Making other sectors more sustainable 14

15 3. Storage Difficult business case Price: lack of volatility But much needed in the future (balancing) 15 15

16 Phase III: (+ 48 GW?) Large scale wind farms Location: depth & wind Power Link Island Wind Connector Hub & Spoke 16

17 North Sea Wind Power Hub 17

18 Integration offshore infrastructure Connecting wind farms to interconnectors within a North Sea Wind Power Hub system Announced today: joint study by innogy and TenneT 18

19 What the energy transition needs System choices Timely decision making and commitment International coordination Take account of development infrastructure Electrification industry Stimulate flexibility and storage Development hydrogen With neighboring countries on electricity highways in the direction of centers with high consumption Spatial planning 19

20 TenneT is a leading European electricity transmission system operator (TSO) with its main activities in the Netherlands and Germany. With approximately 22,500 kilometres of high-voltage connections we ensure a secure supply of electricity to 41 million end-users. Taking power further
