The Lillebælt Syd and Jammerland Bugt offshore wind farms are proceeding as planned, following the Danish Energy Complaints Board’s dismissal of objections to their permits.
The German Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU), along with Red Lillebælt and Beskyt Jammerland Bugt, filed complaints with the Danish Energy Agency Complaints Board regarding the permits for these offshore wind projects.
On May 23, the Energy Complaints Board affirmed the Danish Energy Agency’s (DEA) decision, allowing the Lillebælt Syd and Jammerland Bugt offshore wind farms to continue development as scheduled.
“The Danish Energy Agency has emphasized balancing wildlife and nature protection with advancing the green transition. It is gratifying that the Energy Complaints Board has agreed,” stated Stig Uffe Pedersen, Deputy Director General, Oversees Centre for Green Power Production and Subsoil Resources Centre.
In November 2024, the DEA granted a construction permit for the 165 MW Lillebælt Syd, which will feature 11 wind turbines between Als and Helnæs.
Slated for operation in 2029, the wind farm is a joint venture by European Energy, SONFOR, and TotalEnergies.
In December, the DEA granted a permit for the 240 MW Jammerland Bugt offshore wind farm. Its 16 turbines will be situated south of Kalundborg between the peninsulas of Asnæs and Reersø.
That month, TotalEnergies partnered with European Energy to become the majority owner of the Jammerland Bugt project, expected to be operational by 2029.
“The Danish Energy Agency is pleased that the projects can proceed, anticipating significant green electricity output equivalent to the consumption of 390,000 households by 2029,” remarked Stig Uffe Pedersen.
