The further process for Hesselø OWF
After the consultation, the Danish Energy Agency will examine the remarks, and if necessary update the plan accordingly. Hereafter, the Danish Energy Agency will make a SEA Summary Statement and publish the final plan.
In parallel to the SEA, Energinet (Danish TSO) is conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the land-based part of the project. The Danish Environmental Protection Agency expects mid-2024 to issue the EIA-permit (§ 25 of the Danish Environmental Assessment Act) for the land-based part of the project, provided that the EIA-process allows the project to be carried out.
The final tender material is expected to be published during the spring of 2024, with an expected final tender deadline in February 2025. The EIA of the sea-based part of the project is expected to be carried out in 2025-2027 when the winner of the tender for Hesselø OWF has been found: the scoping phase is expected to be in 2025 and the 2nd public consultation on the EIA report is expected to be in 2027. Later in 2027, the Danish Energy Agency expects to issue the construction license (EIA-permit) for Hesselø OWF, provided that the EIA-process allows the project to be carried out.
Facts
- Hesselø OWF will have an installed capacity of 800 – 1,200 MW.
- The turbines will be located in Hesselø Bay in the Kattegat at a distance of approximately 30 km from Zealand, 30 km from Anholt, 35 km from Djursland and 33 km from Sweden.
- Offshore export cables will run to the landfall at Gilbjerg Hoved in North Zealand. Near Pårup, a new high voltage power station will potentially be constructed. From the station, the electricity will be exported through onshore-buried cables towards the existing high voltage power station Hovegaard north of Ballerup. This station will be extended.
- Deadline for full commissioning of the wind farm is by the end of 2029.

First licenses in Danish history to explore onshore CO2 storage potentials awarded20.6.2024 12:26:28 CEST | Pressemeddelelse
The Danish subsoil is particularly well suited for carbon storage, and this can help prevent global warming. The Danish Energy Agency has recommended that the Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities grant three licenses to explore the Danish onshore subsoil for carbon storage potentials. If further investigations confirm that the subsoil is suitable for safe onshore carbon storage, as expected, the licensees can later apply for a license to commence storage.
