TOKYO, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Corp  8058.T  said
on Friday that its subsidiary N.V. Eneco and Shell PLC  SHEL.L 
have been awarded the Hollandse Kust West Site VI offshore wind
farm site in the Netherlands.
    Mitsubishi said this will be the fifth offshore wind farm
project for Eneco, which is an 80% subsidiary.
        Companies across the world are seeking to diversify into
renewable energy as they seek alternate sources, a trend that
has picked up even more since oil prices have surged in the wake
of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 
  
    The Hollandse farm, located about 50 kilometers off the
northwest shore of the Netherlands, will start commercial
operation in 2026 with capacity of 760 megawatts, the companies
said.
