European Energy has been greenlighted to move forward with two of its offshore wind projects in Denmark, following the approval of its environmental impact assessments.
The projects, known as Omø South and Jammerland Bay, have a total capacity of 560 megawatts. They will supply green electricity to more than half a million Danish households and reduce 750,000 tons of carbon emissions, contributing to Denmark’s transition to green energy.
European Energy began developing the projects in 2012 through the so-called open door procedure and expects to reach commercial operations in 2023.
“We are very satisfied to receive the authorities’ approvals of both projects after eight years of thorough review,” said Knud Erik Andersen, CEO of European Energy. “We are now ready to enter the next phase, which means that the projects will hopefully be ready to contribute to carbon dioxide reductions by 2023.”
