COPHEN (FRA): Aflandshage Wind Farm is now one step closer to realization. The City Council of Copenhagen has now approved the project, which will consist of 26 Siemens Gamesa wind turbines to be built in Øresund. The municipality announced this in a press release.
- The approval of Aflandshage Wind Farm is a historic milestone in Copenhagen's green efforts. The wind farm can deliver green and sustainable electricity, equivalent 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 construction of the offshore wind farm can be done relatively quickly. Seabed surveys in Øresund are already underway, so that construction work on the wind farm can begin in 2025. Aflandshage Wind Farm can be fully operational in 2026 – and deliver green electricity to the many consumers and businesses in the Øresund region.
With the City Council's approval of Aflandshage Wind Farm, the project now only needs final approval from Hofors' board. This is expected during September, when the final contracts have been negotiated.
- I am really pleased that we have the support of Hofors' important offshore wind farm 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 Directors of Hofor.
