The government's ambition to establish 3 GW of offshore wind risks becoming an economic disadvantage for consumers. According to a leaked memo, which Børsen has gained insight into, an average family with two adults and two children will only save between DKK 50 and DKK 250 per year on their electricity bill as a result of the new offshore wind farms. In return, it will cost around DKK 260 per Dane annually in state aid if the state's contribution to the project reaches DKK 31 billion.
- It is a limited task. The green transition will not happen by itself, and it is not free. Not even for consumers. And we shouldn't delude ourselves into thinking that, says Ann Lehmann Erichsen, a consumer economist at Sydbank.
At the same time, a forecast from the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities shows that Denmark will become dependent on electricity imports if the planned offshore wind farms do not become a reality.
