Vattenfall has won contracts to build the 1 GW Nordsøen Midt (North Sea 1 Mid) and 800 MW Hesselø offshore wind farms in Denmark.
According to the Danish Energy Agency, Vattenfall submitted bids of €67.42/MWh (DKr504/MWh) and €72.50/MWh (DKr542/MWh) for the Nordsøen Midt and Hesselø projects, respectively.
The DEA added that Nordsøen Midt received two bids, while Hesselø received five.
The winning bidder will receive the offered electricity price for 20 years from the completion of each offshore wind farm.
“The Danish Energy Agency has conducted an extensive market dialogue and tender process on the construction of two new offshore wind farms in the North Sea and Kattegat,” said Stig Uffe Pedersen, deputy director general of the Danish Energy Agency.
Offshore wind is essential to Europe’s future, helping to deliver affordable, secure and fossil-free energy to homes, businesses and industry. That’s why Vattenfall is proud to strengthen its position in Denmark, a market that has been central to our and Europe’s offshore wind journey for many years.
“Winning both projects reflects our continued ambition to grow our offshore wind portfolio and support the electrification of industry and society,” said David Flood, Head of Vattenfall’s Offshore Business Unit.
“Wind power, together with other fossil-free sources of generation, can help meet the growing demand for clean electricity in Europe. Projects like this demonstrate how we are scaling up offshore wind while maintaining a strong focus on affordability and long-term value.”
