With the recently adopted 'Climate Agreement on Green Electricity and Heat of 25 June 2022', a broad majority in the Danish Parliament consisting of the Liberal Party, the Socialist People's Party, the Radical Left, the United Unity Party, the Conservative People's Party, the Danish People's Party, the Liberal Alliance, the Alternative and the Christian Democrats agreed to initiate preliminary studies on a number of already screened locations around Danish waters that have been found suitable for offshore wind.
The studies will, among other things, examine the new location, further south, of the Hesselø Offshore Wind Farm.
"In 2022, the Danish Energy Agency carried out a fine screening of a number of sea areas with a view to future tenders for offshore wind farms. The areas that Energinet has now been instructed to pre-investigate are all included in the fine screening. The screening concludes that all the areas are considered suitable for the installation of offshore wind on the basis of the available data," the agency writes in a statement.
The preliminary studies, which could potentially pave the way for up to six GW of new offshore wind, include, among other things, studies of the seabed, which should give the installers a good insight into where it is appropriate to establish the individual turbines and cables, etc., analyses of wind and wave conditions and environmental conditions that may have an impact on the possibilities of establishing offshore wind in the area.
The parties to the agreement behind the Climate Agreement on Green Electricity and Heat 2022 will decide on specific locations and tender frameworks for the new offshore wind capacity in the second half of 2022, informs The Danish Energy Agency.
