DEA will now send a further six applications for regulatory consultation.
The new applications are located in areas 1-3, 7, 11, and 12 as shown on the map and on the Danish Energy Agency’s website .
In July, DEA announced that it had received a number of applications for offshore wind projects with a capacity of more than 1 GW each, several of which are located far from the coast.
The Agency has confirmed that these projects are covered by the rules of the open door scheme and will therefore proceed with the examination of the applications which includes consultation with the authorities.
The final decision on whether a project can be granted a feasibility study will depend on an assessment, in which a number of different factors will be taken into account, including environmental, nature, safety, shipping, fisheries, or planning considerations in relation to the overall development of offshore wind turbines, the extent of wind resources, and considerations of overall grid planning, etc.
Granting a feasibility study permit does not imply that permission is given to build an offshore wind farm at the given location, but only that studies necessary for the project can be carried out.
