COPENHAGEN: Aflandshage Wind Farm is now one step closer to realization. Thus, citizen representation in the Municipality of Copenhagen has now approved the project, which will consist of 26 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines, which will be built in Øresund. The municipality states this in a press release.
- The approval of the Aflandshage wind farm is a historic milestone in Copenhagen's green efforts. With the wind farm, green and sustainable electricity can be supplied, corresponding to the consumption of around 300,000 households. I am proud of that; we must act on the climate crisis, so that we both future-proof our cities and inspire others to a greener direction, says Lord Mayor Sophie Hæstorp Andersen (S).
The installation of the offshore wind farm can be done relatively quickly. Seabed surveys in Øresund are already underway, so construction work on the wind farm can begin in 2025. Aflandshage Wind Farm can be fully operational in 2026 – and supply green power to the many consumers and businesses in the Øresund region.
With the Citizens' Representative's approval of Aflandshage Windmill Park, only the final approval of the project from Hofor's board is needed. It is expected during the month of September, when the last contracts have been negotiated in place.
- I am really happy that we have support for Hofor's important offshore wind turbine project from our owners. Aflandshage is the largest of all our solar and wind projects – and therefore a cornerstone in our work to convert energy production to renewable and green solutions, says Susanne Juhl, chairman of the board of Hofor.
