DEA releases second discussion paper about the Energy Island in the North Sea

Danish Energy Agency has published Discussion Paper II as part of the second market dialogue regarding the procurement framework for the construction and co-ownership of the Energy Island in the North Sea. 

DEA invites potential tenderers and relevant market operators to participate in the second market dialogue on the coming tender regarding the construction and co-ownership of the Energy Island in the North Sea (Energy Island). The dialogue is an opportunity for potential tenderers to discuss the expected main elements of the tender as well as providing the DEA with useful inputs and recommendations. Discussion Paper II has a range of relevant themes for market dialogue and is based on initial analyses, planning assumptions as well as elements that have already been politically decided. Answers and comments to questions raised during this market dialogue will be included in the further decision-making processes.

In order for the coming procurement framework for the Energy Island project to target the relevant tenderers, the DEA wishes to learn from the market dialogue how to optimize the timetable, how the co-ownership should best be structured, how an artificial island could be constructed, and how the project as a whole will become a profitable investment for both the commercial co-owner and the Danish State. Comments and answers to the questions and topics raised in the discussion paper must be submitted by e-mail to the DEA at energyislands@ens.dk no later than October 15, 2021.
