DEME Concessions

DEME Concessions invests in and develops projects in offshore wind, port infrastructure, green hydrogen and other special projects. It operates through participations in special purpose companies – greenfield and brownfield. In addition to creating economic value on its projects and generating equity returns on its investments, DEME Concessions also aims to secure contracting activities for the group in the EPC phases of its projects. 

DEME Concessions oversees four activity domains:

  • Offshore Wind ConcessionsThe Concessions segment has economic ownership of 144 MW of wind energy from offshore wind concessions in operation, generating recurring income, while building a pipeline and exploring and developing additional opportunities. 
  • Dredging & Infra ConcessionsFor Dredging & Infra, the Concessions segment is forging ahead with the Blankenburg Connection in the Netherlands, Port-La Nouvelle in France and further expanding in Port of Duqm in Oman. DEME continues to explore new opportunities for ports and other concessions, mainly in Europe and Latin America.  
  • Green HydrogenDEME Concessions is leveraging DEME Group’s capabilities to drive success in this challenging new industry, which will be a vital component in the energy transition.
