LONDON, July 12 (Reuters) - Wind developers Eneco, Ocean
Winds and Otary have formed a consortium to compete in an
offshore wind tender in Belgium, they said on Friday.
    The tender is for wind development in the Princess Elizabeth
Zone (PEZ) in the Belgian North Sea.
    The PEZ will be split into three lots including one for the
development of a 700 megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm and two
for the development of offshore wind farms ranging from 1,225 to
1,400 MW each, the companies said.
    The consortium said it plans to participate in all of the
tenders with the first expected in 2025.
    The companies previously partnered to develop the SeaMade
offshore wind farm in Belgium, which has been in operation since
the end of 2020. 
    Belgium aims to have around 5.8 gigawatts of offshore wind
capacity by 2030.
