The Danish Energy Agency has launched a procurement procedure for new offshore wind farms in Denmark. The procurement procedure is divided into six sites in areas: North Sea I, the Kattegat, Kriegers Flak II and Hesselø.It makes it possible to construct offshore wind farms with a total capacity of at least 6 GW located as follows:
- Minimum 3 GW in North Sea I (broken down into three farms)
- Minimum 1 GW in the Kattegat
- Minimum 1 GW in Kriegers Flak II
- 0.8-1.2 GW in Hesselø
Besides the 6 GW, tenderers have the possibility of overplanting. In other words, tenderers can erect more wind turbines, and in total, there will consequently be an opportunity to establish up to 10 GW or more. The electricity generated by the wind farms could also be used for hydrogen or other Power-to-X products to replace fossil fuels.
