Denmark decided to expand its offshore wind power from 2.3 gigawatts to 9 gigawatts by 2030

-

Enough power to provide electricity for 9 million households. The new offshore wind farms will be placed in Bornholm, Hesselø, North Sea, Kattegat and Kriegers Flak. While the expected capacity is 9 gigawatts, the Ministry of Energy foresees a potential capacity of 14 gigawatts. A potential export resource for Denmark, as we will produce more than we need. 

  • Part of the electricity will also be used to produce hydrogen in the soon-to-be established power-to-X plants. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel in transportation. 
  • 500 million DKK will be spent to protect the marine environment around the offshore wind farms.
