The Danish Energy Agency has suspended the processing of offshore wind farm projects and other renewable energy projects under the open door scheme. The proceedings have been put on hold until further clarification of EU legal issues, the state agency said.

Denmark’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Supply has, in dialogue with the government’s State Aid Secretariat, assessed that the granting of permits for offshore wind turbine projects and other renewable energy projects under the open door scheme may be in breach of EU law.
