Green Light for 560 MW Offshore Wind Energy in Denmark

The development of the two wind farms has been underway since 2012, according to European Energy. It is now expected that the wind farms can be commissioned in 2023. The green electricity is expected to supply more than half a million Danish households and will also save about 750,000 tonnes of CO2.

The two projects will create 60-80 permanent jobs and 3,000-5,000 jobs during the construction phase.

”We are very satisfied to receive the authorities’ approvals of both projects after eight years of thorough review. We are now ready to enter the next phase, which means that the projects will hopefully be ready to contribute to CO2-reductions by 2023. I would like to thank the authorities for their colaboration, which we look forward to continue. Furthermore, we are looking forward to continue the dialogue with local stakeholders, which is a priority for us”, says European Energy’s CEO Knud Erik Andersen.
