Henrik Andersen , president and CEO of the Danish offshore wind turbine maker Vestas, said, “Of course, we need more offshore wind in Denmark. It is therefore good that the government is now working on a rapid re-tender of the first projects with installation initiated by 2030 at the latest, and preferably earlier.”
“With today’s announcement, the market and not least the value chain with thousands of employees in Denmark will have more clarity about the first new projects of 2-3 GW offshore wind. But we must move away from taking one tender at a time. The wind turbine industry needs clarity in the long term with annual offshore wind tenders of at least 1 GW. In other words, tracks must also be laid for a continued stable expansion of green power both on land and at sea.”
The government has also informed the parties behind the political agreement that the legal framework to execute the next stage of the Bornholm Energy Island is not in place. Restarting negotiations will depend on the formation of a new German government, according to the press release.
