European Energy has notified the Danish authorities of its plans to enter the development phase regarding its Omo South and Jammerland Bay offshore wind projects, which will have a combined capacity of 560 MW and are expected to be commissioned in 2023. The Danish company will initiate technical inspections of the seabed at the project sites. The Omo South wind project will have a capacity of 320 MW, while Jammerland Bay wind project's generation capacity will reach 240 MW. In May 2020, European Energy obtained environmental impact assessments (EIA) approvals for the two projects.
In May 2020, the Danish government unveiled plans to build two offshore wind energy islands in the Baltic and North Seas with a total capacity of 4 GW by 2030. In June 2019, the government reached an agreement with all the parties in the Danish parliament to support the green transition to 2030. The deal includes massive investments to achieve the target of 100% green power by 2030, as well as a pledge to reduce the number of onshore wind turbines by 70% over the next decade.
