Wind Energy – Electricity Production
The Danish energy agency has granted Vattenfall a license to produce electricity on two offshore wind farms on the West coast of Denmark, the agency said on Wednesday.
Vattenfall has said previously it aimed to start production from the two wind farms, Vesterhav Syd and Vesterhav Nord with a combined capacity of 344 megawatts (MW), by the end of 2023.
The Danish Energy Agency said in its statement that the licence was valid 25 years from when the first electricity is fed into the Danish power grid.
The Agency said Siemens Gamesa would supply the 8.4 MW turbines, with 20 destined for Vesterhav Syd and 21 for Vesterhav Nord.
The production from the two wind farms corresponds to the annual consumption of 375,000 households, the agency added in a statement.
