Wind Energy – Frederikshavn
Last Wednesday, the Danish Energy Agency granted an establishment permit for European Energy’s offshore wind project in Frederikshavn, Northern Denmark.
The project includes the installation of up to five offshore wind turbines at a height of up to 256 meters.
Three test versions of Vestas’ upcoming offshore turbines, V236-15MW, are slated for installation in 2024.
”We have been working intensively on our plans to make the city of Frederikshavn a global focal point for new offshore wind power technology,” says European Energy Head of Offshore Wind Andreas Karhula Lauridsen.
”Therefore, we are very satisfied to gain the permission from the national and local authorities. This is an important milestone, and we are now pursuing the development of the project and working to ensure the necessary financial framework for the project.”
The project involves the installation of up to five offshore wind turbines at a height of up to 256 meters with a total capacity of 72MW, located four kilometers from the coast at the Port of Frederikshavn and 1.8 kilometers offshore the islands Hirsholmene.
