On Tuesday, the government, together with a broad majority in the Danish Parliament, entered into a supplementary agreement on tender frameworks for six GW of offshore wind and a further three GW at the Bornholm Energy Island. The agreement secures the framework for the tender for the upcoming 9 GW of offshore wind.
With the supplementary agreement in place, the Danish Energy Agency is already working on translating the agreed access requirements into transparent tender conditions. An important part of this is the market dialogue that the Danish Energy Agency is currently preparing.
According to the plan, the Danish Energy Agency will invite market dialogue over the summer with a view to obtaining constructive input on the tender material and on how the decided tender frameworks should be translated into tender material, the Danish Energy Agency informs in a press release.
Replanting allows for even greater capacity
The preliminary studies of the seabed, nature, environment, etc. is already underway, and the Danish Energy Agency is currently preparing the tender documents.
With the agreement, the offshore wind turbine installers on Nordsøen I, Kriegers Flak II and Kattegat II will be given the opportunity for free overplanting – i.e. freedom to install more offshore wind than has been politically agreed.
For Hesselø and Energiø Bornholm, the strategic environmental assessments are already so far advanced that only a more limited overplanting can be permitted here. This means a total capacity of 1.2 GW for Hesselø and 3.8 GW for Energiø Bornholm, respectively. Overall, the 9 GW can thus become 14 GW.
The 9 GW are placed as follows:
- Minimum 3 GW at Energiø Bornholm
- Minimum 3 GW in the North Sea I
- Minimum 1 GW at Kattegat II
- Minimum 1 GW at Kriegers Flak II
- 0.8-1.2 GW at Hesselø.
