The subsidy ceiling is a maximum of €0.117 per kWh for Gamma-A and €0.116 per kWh for Gamma-B, combined with a construction and operation permit 1. The Kamerbrief of 11 June 2026 raised these from €0.104/kWh and €0.103/kWh respectively, an increase of more than 13%, and lifted the combined subsidy budget from €7.896 billion to €9.456 billion 1.

Passage 1: Two ~1 GW sites
In the 2026 Dutch offshore wind tender round, RVO is opening applications for two roughly 1 GW sites at IJmuiden Ver: Gamma-A and Gamma-B. The application window for both sites is 26 November to 10 December 2026; a winner is expected in Q1 2027. Each permit combines a construction and operation permit with a subsidy ceiling: a maximum of €0.117 per kWh for Gamma-A and €0.116 per kWh for Gamma-B. The Kamerbrief of 11 June 2026 raised these ceilings from an earlier €0.104/kWh (Gamma-A) and €0.103/kWh (Gamma-B), a more than 13% increase, to give developers more financial certainty; the combined subsidy budget rose from €7.896 billion to €9.456 billion.

Passage 2: No re-tender; 2026 round went elsewhere; Doordewind status
No re-tender of Nederwiek I-A took place in 2026. Instead, the government's 2026 Offshore Wind Energy Action Plan (16 September 2025) redirected the subsidised 2 GW round announced for 2026 to two other 1 GW sites, IJmuiden Ver Gamma-A and Gamma-B, whose application window is 26 November-10 December 2026. RVO's Development Framework for Offshore Wind Energy (January 2026) does not give a tender date for Nederwiek I-A - unlike sites I-B, II and III, which show 'Q2-Q4 2026' - and still lists an indicative commissioning date of Q4 2030 for I-A. The plot itself had already been resized from 2 GW to 1 GW in 2024 to lower the investment needed per site. Doordewind, a further roughly 2 GW site in the same programme, split into kavel I and kavel II: the January 2026 Development Framework listed kavel I for tender in Q1-Q2 2027 (preliminary) and kavel II as 'to be determined', pending reconfirmation of its location in the Partial Revision of the North Sea Programme. The minister's 21 May 2026 letter to Parliament confirmed that reconfirmation - Doordewind kavel II is now definitively included in the development framework - but left the delivery and tender dates for both kavels unchanged pending a full roadmap update due by the end of 2026; RVO's public planning table (updated 19 August 2026) currently lists both kavel I and kavel II as 'to be determined'.
