Vattenfall starts commercial operation of 604 MW offshore wind farm in Denmark
Vattenfall's 604 MW new offshore wind farm Kriegers Flak has been inaugurated on September, 6. The wind farm will increase Danish wind power production by 16 percent. With 72 offshore wind turbines and a capacity corresponding to the annual energy consumption of approximately 600,000 Danish households, Kriegers Flak is Denmark's and Scandinavia's largest offshore wind farm.
The new offshore wind farm is located in the Baltic Sea, 15-40 kilometers off the coast of Denmark, and is Vattenfall's newest and to date largest offshore wind farm in operation. The wind farm covers an area of 132 km2 and about 170 kilometres of underwater cables have been laid.
The construction of Kriegers Flak was decided by the Danish parliament in 2012. In May 2020, Vattenfall put the first foundation in place, and at the beginning of this year, the first out of 72 wind turbines was installed. Since then, the remaining turbines have been continuously installed and put into operation.
Kriegers Flak will be serviced out of the Port of Klintholm on the Island of Møn.
