Danish Offshore Wind Experience
Anne Højer SimonsenDeputy Director GeneralDanish Energy Agency
Ministry of Climate and Energy
Advantages of Wind Power
• Security of supply• Alleviation of
energy imports
• Environment • climate change
mitigation • conservation of
biodiversity
• Export options• New jobs
16 years of experience offshore
• First Danish offshore wind farm 1991
• Strategic mapping 1995• Capacity now 423 MW.
(3100 MW incl. onshore) • Strategic assessment for
future location of 5200 MW offshore wind power
• 2 x 200 MW being built to go on-line in 2009 and 2011. The projects are on track
• 2011 app. 850 MW offshore
National averageat normal wind conditions 20% of
electricity demand
National average 2006 - 17%
National average January 2007 - 36%
Western Denmark January 2007 - 41%
Wind Power Production
Challenge: To Feed the Grid with Wind Power(Western Denmark as an example)
Key Instruments to promote REHistoric perspective
Public support to research, development and demonstration of RE-technologies
Investment grants for standardized RE-equipment
Favourable prices for electricity fed into the public grid
A suitable legislative and planning framework -supporting the local initiative
Agreements between the Government and the utilities: Wind power programmes and biomass agreement
Large scale integration
• Denmark has very strong interconnectors to neighbouring countries
• Nord Pool is a level playing field• Short gate closure times to allow trades
close to real time• Further integration is possible• Storage and demand side management
could serve as future options• EU: cross border solutions
Decoupling of economic growth and energy consumption

TenderingAim to bring down financial risk
• Screening for site suitability
• Tender: Fixed price in 10-12 years
• TSO to finance, construct and operate transformer station and sea cable
• TSO obliged to connect wind power and strengthen grid if necessary
• Security that grid connection is available in due time
• Financial compensation if the power produced is curtailed
• One stop shop communication
Support scheme for offshore
• Tender – Cheapest, fastest and most beautiful
• Fixed price in 50.000 full load hours
• = 10-15 years of production
• Low bids:
• Horns Rev 2 = € cent 6,7 per kWh
• Rødsand 2 = € cent 8,3 per kWh
• 26 sites of 200 MW identified
• 5200 MW• Equivalent to 8 % of
total demand or 50% of electricity demand
• Consultation answers is taken into account
• A sensitivity analysis is too be conducted and used in the decision-making process for the actual site selection
Preparing for the future 2025
Conclusions from the Environmentalprogramme
• Public acceptance • Migrating birds avoid
collision• Seals behaviour not
affected• Harbour porpoises
return to the sites• Significant artificial
wreck effect observed
New site: Djursland-Anholt
In conclusion
• Large scale integration possible• A doubling of offshore capacity on track
for 2009-2011• Tender procedure combined with TSO-grid
financing and one stop shop brings down financial risks
• Future locations identified• Environment no problem if sites are
planned properly• One-stop-shop approval procedure
Thank you for your attention
