HOFOR (Greater Copenhagen Utility) has warned that several of its offshore wind projects will be negatively affected by the Danish Energy Agency’s decision to suspend the processing of offshore wind farm projects and other renewable energy projects under the open door scheme.
The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Supply has assessed that the so-called Open Door scheme for wind turbine projects may be in breach of EU law. Therefore, the Danish Energy Agency has put the case processing of all pending cases under the scheme on hold until the scheme’s relation to EU law has been investigated in more detail.
