Denmark: As two OWFs from 2018 Energy Agreement move forward, third is now part of much bigger plans

Of the three offshore wind farms that Denmark decided to tender as of this year in its Energy Agreement from 2018, the last one planned to be offered for development has recently been added to the 5 GW offshore energy islands plan in a new Energy Agreement in 2020. The two energy islands are expected be built before 2030.

On 27 June 2018, Danish parliament unanimously voted in favour of the then new energy agreement, which included building three new offshore wind farms by 2030 with a total capacity of at least 2,400 MW.

Now, two years later, Denmark has moved forward with tendering the first two offshore wind farms from the 2018 Energy Agreement, which are expected to be commissioned between 2024 and 2027.
