The Danish Energy Agency invites to market dialogue on conditions for a minimum of 9 GW of new offshore wind before 2030

The draft procurement material is the implementation of the political supplementary agreement, which was adopted on May 30, 2023, and outlines the framework for the development of the minimum 9 GW offshore wind before the end of 2030.

The market dialogue is in collaboration with Energinet

The market dialogue is held in collaboration with Energinet (the Danish TSO) and will be conducted in a written format, where potential tenderers and economic operators are given the opportunity to contribute directly with input and proposals for the preliminary procurement material.

It can take up to 48 hours.

The Danish Energy Agency welcomes written comments before the end of August 2023. All communication with the participants in the market dialogue will take place through EU-Supply, which is continuously updated with new information. It is possible to submit comments and attach documents in the message module in EU-Supply.

Technical workshops

As part of the market dialogue, The Danish Energy Agency will, together with Energinet facilitate two technical workshops on requirements regarding the grid connection in case of overplanting. These workshops will take place in Copenhagen on August 29, 2023 for the 6 GW (radial parks) and on September 6, 2023 for the Energy Island Bornholm. Further information and registration for the workshops is published on EU-Supply at the beginning of August 2023.
