Green energy is perhaps more on the agenda than ever, partly because the war in Ukraine has challenged the oil and gas supply. Perhaps as a result of this, there has been great interest in establishing new coastal offshore wind farms in recent months, the Danish Energy Agency states in a press release.
In fact, since April, the agency has received as many as 15 new applications for feasibility studies for new projects via the so-called open door scheme.
The applications have been received for the following areas: Aalbæk Bugt, Esbjerg, Falster, Gjerrild Bugt, Hanstholm Port, Hirtshals Port, Lolland Syd, Stevns and Tønder.
The Danish Energy Agency has initially screened the new applications, with the exception of the most recent one, which was received at the beginning of June 2022, and which has not yet been screened. The screening showed that the applications were deficient, and the applicants were therefore asked to submit additional information.
After receiving additional information, an application for a feasibility study permit for an offshore wind farm at Hanstholm Harbour has been sent for regulatory consultation, and the Danish Energy Agency is now in the process of assessing the other applications and screening the most recently submitted one.
The applications will be processed according to the rules at the time when the applications are complete. Should several people have applied for a permit for the same area, a permit will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. to that,
The Danish Energy Agency emphasizes that a permit for a preliminary investigation permit does not mean that permission is granted to erect offshore wind turbines at the given location, but only that necessary investigations for the project can be carried out.
