The Danish Energy Agency put the case processing of open-door projects on hold on 1 February 2023, until further clarification of EU legal issues. Together with the applications for lifetime extension, the projects include proposed new offshore wind farms and demonstration projects.
On 8 December, the Agency said that the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Supply, in dialogue with the State Support Secretariat, concluded that pending applications for extensions of the electricity production permit for already established offshore wind farms, filed under the open-door scheme, were not in breach of EU law.
