Vattenfall has been awarded the Hesselø and North Sea I Mid offshore wind projects through Denmark’s latest offshore wind tender, with the projects located in the Kattegat Sea and North Sea, respectively, off the Danish coast.
The Hesselø offshore wind project is located in the Kattegat Sea between Denmark and Sweden, around 30 km from the coast, with a minimum installed capacity of 800 MW. The North Sea I Mid Offshore Wind Project is located in the North Sea, approximately 20 km off the coast near Hvide Sande, with a minimum capacity of 1,000 MW.
The Hesselø and the North Sea I Mid offshore wind projects build on Vattenfall’s strong offshore wind portfolio in Denmark (1.5 GW). With excellent wind resources and well-established infrastructure, Denmark has long been an important market for the company’s offshore wind business. Today, Vattenfall operates five offshore wind farms in Denmark, generating around 6.5 TWh of electricity annually, enough to power approximately 1.5 million homes.
Vattenfall will now work closely with relevant partners and authorities to further develop both projects.
