BP submitted bids for two wind farm locations in Hollandse Kust West, 53 kilometres west of the Netherlands. The potential 1.4-gigawatt plant has a potential power output of 1.4 billion watts.
If it wins the bidding process, the company stated it will invest 2 billion euros ($2.1billion) in clean energy projects in Holland. This includes a promise to spend 75 millions euros in ecological monitoring of the North Sea.
