European Energy and Vestas are joining forces to realise the ambition of making the Danish city of Frederikshavn a global focal point for test and demonstration of new offshore wind technology.
The joint venture will aim at developing and constructing three of Vestas’ newest V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbine at three of the five test positions that are currently under development by European Energy approximately four kilometers off the coast near the city of Frederikshavn. European Energy has been developing the project for several years. In 2018, the city council of Frederikshavn greenlit the further development of the offshore wind power project. Since then, European Energy has worked to complete the required environment impact assessments that have now been approved by the Danish Energy Agency and are submitted for public consultation later this month.
