The Danish Energy Agency ( DEA ) has officially adopted the plan for the Kattegat and Kriegers Flak II wind farms , reaffirming Denmark’s efforts to expand its renewable energy capacity. Following an environmental assessment process and public consultation, the projects are moving forward with the goal of generating at least 1,000 MW of wind power each.
Kattegat and Kriegers Flak II wind farms
The tendering process for both parks started in April 2024, with bids expected to be submitted by 1 April 2025. Winning developers will be responsible for conducting a full environmental impact assessment for their specific proposals, ensuring the projects are viable and environmentally sustainable, following Danish Agency guidelines.
The Kattegat wind farm is planned to be installed approximately 27 kilometres off the island of Anholt, 15 kilometres off Djursland and 25 kilometres off the coast in the municipality of Odsherred. With a minimum capacity of 1,000 MW , the project is expected to be connected to the grid in Trige, Jutland, and fully operational by the end of 2030.
The Kriegers Flak II wind farm will be split into northern and southern areas with a combined minimum capacity of 1,000 MW . The wind turbines in the southern area will be located 15 kilometres from the island of Møn, while those in the northern area will be the same distance from Rødvig in south-east Zealand. This wind farm is also expected to be operational by the end of 2030 . These projects add to the recent advancement of the North Sea Wind Zone I , which includes multiple offshore wind energy sites currently under tender.
Denmark’s Clean Energy Push
Denmark has been a leader in the transition to renewable energy, and the adoption of these plans underscores the country’s commitment to expanding offshore wind power . By adding more clean electricity generation capacity, the country seeks to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, and secure a stable energy supply that can support its national power grid in combination with other renewable sources such as solar and onshore wind .
