Five rejected offshore wind applications must be re-processed

European Energy has been successful in allowing five rejected offshore wind farms to go through individual case processing.

Five offshore wind farms that have previously been refused approval will now have to go through a new case procedure. That's what Finance writes. These are 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 they had applied for. The decision was appealed to the Energy Complaints Board, which has granted European Energy that the proceedings must be repeated.

The reason is that an individual assessment of the five 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 satisfied with that.

- We now have the Energy Complaints Board's word that the Energy Agency should have carried out a concrete assessment of our open door projects, writes Andreas Karhula Lauridsen in a written comment to Finance.

The open door scheme, which is now closed, made it possible to build offshore wind farms on Danish marine areas without support - but also without payment for using the areas.
