Dutch infrastructure developer, VTTI and Höegh Evi have completed the first phase of their permit procedure for Zeeland Energy Terminal (ZET).
This came with the publication of a response report, marking an important step for energy supply in the Netherlands.
The publication concluded the initial phase—the response period for the Notification of Intent and the proposed participation approach by the Dutch Ministry of Climate and Green Growth (KGG).
A total of 18 responses were received regarding the plan. The replies to these responses will be published alongside the draft scope and level of detail memorandum, which will initiate the next phase of the permitting process.
Zeeland Energy Terminal is planned to be located either in the Sloe Port in Vlissingen or the Braakman Port in Terneuzen and will operate using an FSRU.
The terminal is expected to be operational in 2028/2029.
Communication regarding an ‘open season,’ during which interested parties can participate, is expected in early 2026.
