The Danish state has announced plans to acquire a 20% stake in four upcoming offshore wind farms with a combined capacity of at least 6 gigawatts (GW). The move is part of Denmark's commitment to reducing CO2 emissions by 70% from 1990 levels, with a focus on offshore wind power generation. Developers will compete for providing the state with the highest fixed annual payment over a 30-year period, ensuring societal benefits from utilizing the Danish sea area. Denmark, a home to leading wind industry companies like Vestas and Orsted, aims to leverage the favorable offshore wind market. In addition, Denmark will invest 17.6 billion Danish crowns in a 3 GW energy island in the Baltic Sea. This project will not only supply power to households but also produce green hydrogen for applications in shipping, aviation, industry, and heavy transport. With the potential to reach a total offshore wind capacity of 14 GW by 2030, Denmark's initiatives align with a recent pledge by European countries bordering the North Sea to boost offshore wind power generation for enhanced energy security and sustainability.
