12 offshore wind farms that have previously been refused approval will now have to go through a new case processing. This is reported by Finans.
These include five offshore wind farms that the developer European Energy tried to get approved through the so-called open door scheme. In October, European Energy, like other developers, received a collective rejection of the projects for which they had applied for permission.
The decision was appealed to the Energy Appeals Board, which has upheld European Energy's claim that the case processing must be re-processed. The reason is that an individual assessment of the projects, which the applicants are otherwise entitled to, has not been carried out. Andreas Karhula Lauridsen, head of offshore wind at European Energy, is very pleased with this.
- We now have the Energy Complaints Board's word that the Danish Energy Agency should have carried out a specific assessment of our open door projects, writes Andreas Karhula Lauridsen in a written comment to Finans.
In addition to the European Energy projects, according to Finans, there are four projects from GreenGo Energy, two from Vattenfall and one from Bornholm Havvind.
The open door scheme, which is now closed, made it possible to build offshore wind farms in Danish sea areas without support - but also without payment for using the areas. The scheme was put on hold because, according to the civil service, it conflicted with EU rules on state aid.
Updated at 14:13, as there are 12 applications that need to be reprocessed.
