HOFOR’s project is not the only offshore wind farm to have its permit revoked. At the beginning of 2021, the Energy Board of Appeal revoked the permits for Vattenfall’s Vesterhav Syd and Vesterhav Nord nearshore wind farms after a number of complaints were filed against the Danish Energy Agency’s authorisation.

In the summer of that year, the Board completed the processing of all the complaints against Vesterhav Syd and Nord’s permit and the projects brought back the permit(s) into effect.
