Bids received for 1.8 GW offshore wind farm in Denmark
The deadline for submitting bids for two offshore areas for the establishment of at least 1.8 GW of offshore wind at the North Sea Mid and Hesselø sites expired on Wednesday, 20 May 2026. Bids have been submitted for both areas.
The offshore wind farms have been tendered under a support scheme. Under the scheme, the state guarantees offshore wind producers a fixed price for their electricity, with net payout caps of DKK 15.7 billion (US$2.4 billion) for North Sea Mid and DKK 21.9 billion (US$3.4 billion) for Hesselø, respectively.
The Danish Energy Agency states that it has begun evaluating the bids received. The final result of the tender will be published once the evaluation has been completed. The evaluation process is expected to be completed by January 2027 at the latest.
In autumn 2028, the bid deadline will apply to a third offshore area, North Sea South, which is to deliver a minimum of 1 GW of offshore wind.
