Project disclosure page not available as of October 16, 2026.

The project concerns the construction and operation of Zeevonk 1, a fixed-bottom offshore wind farm with an installed capacity of approximately 1 GW. It will use 69 x Siemens Gamesa SG DD 236++, a 15 MW direct drive offshore wind turbine model upgraded to 15.5 MW through power boost, installed on monopile foundations.
The project represents the first of two development phases under the IJmuiden Ver Beta permit.
The project includes the foundations and 66 kV inter-array cable network up to the metering point at the offshore substation. The offshore substations and related transmission infrastructure to connect the offshore wind farm to the onshore grid are not part of the scope of financing of this project and will be carried out by the Transmission System Operator (TSO).

The development of offshore wind energy will support EU and national targets for renewable energy generation, and contributes to the security of energy supply and environmental objectives. The offshore wind farm will contribute to reducing carbon emissions and air pollution, which are externalities not addressed by the market.

Wind farms fall under Annex II of the EIA-Directive 2011/92/EU as amended by the Directive 2014/52/EU, thereby leaving it to the competent authority to determine if an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required. An EIA for this project, due to its technical characteristics, is mandatory according to national legislation.

The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if at the project appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the promoter is subject to the EU public procurement legislation then the Bank would require the promoter to apply those rules.

As stated by Bloomberg, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners P/S operates as an investment company. The Company focuses on infrastructure and renewable energy companies. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners serves customers worldwide.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EIB

The EIB Complaints Mechanism is designed to facilitate and handle complaints against the EIB by individuals, organizations or corporations affected by EIB activities. When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal - the Complaints Mechanism Office - and one external - the European Ombudsman. A complaint can be lodged via a written communication addressed to the Secretary General of the EIB, via email to the dedicated email address: complaints@eib.org, by completing the online complaint form available at the following address: http://www.eib.org/complaints/form via fax or delivered directly to the EIB Complaints Mechanism Division, any EIB local representation office or any EIB staff. For further details, check: http://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/complaints_mechanism_policy_en.pdf

When dissatisfied with a complaint to the EIB Complaints Mechanism, citizens can then turn towards the European Ombudsman. A memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the EIB and the European Ombudsman establishes that citizens (even outside of the EU if the Ombudsman finds their complaint justified) can turn towards the Ombudsman on issues related to 'maladministration' by the EIB. Note that before going to the Ombudsman, an attempt must be made to resolve the case by contacting the EIB. In addition, the complaint must be made within two years of the date when the facts on which your complaint is based became known to you. You can write to the Ombudsman in any of the languages of the European Union.
