Largest Tender for Offshore Wind in Danish History Ends in Failure

The Danish wind industry has taken a hit after not a single bid was received for tenders for three offshore wind farms in the North Sea.

On December 5, the deadline expired for energy companies to bid on whether and how they would build the largest offshore wind turbine complex in Danish history.

“The Danish Energy Agency has not received a single bid for any of the three offshore wind farms in the North Sea tendered”, the agency wrote in a press release on December 5.

“A total of 6GW has been put out to tender… successful bidders are free to establish more than the minimum capacity of 6GW, potentially as much as 10GW offshore wind or even more,” it said.
