Middelgrunden offshore wind park, 3.5 km outside Copenhagen.When built in 2000, it was the world's largest. [1]Denmark was a pioneer in developing commercial wind power during the 1970s, and today a substantial share of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers such as Vestas—the world's largest wind-turbine manufacturer—along with many component suppliers.
This is a list of operational, offshore wind farms in Denmark (within the national maritime boundaries). Denmark's wind power generation is the highest in the world as a fraction of domestic consumption, reaching 47% in 2019. [1] Data is primarily from the 4C Offshore's Global Offshore Wind Farm Map and Database.
The energy islands of Denmark are two large-scale offshore wind farm projects that the government of Denmark is planning to establish, in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea respectively, by 2030. In the North Sea, an artificial island will be constructed with the capacity to serve as a hub for up to 3 GW of offshore wind farms initially, and ...
Wind provided 57% of the electricity generated in Denmark in 2019, [38] and at least 47% of Denmark's total electricity consumption in 2019. [38] Denmark is a long-time leader in wind energy, and as of May 2011 [update] Denmark derives 3.1 percent of its Gross Domestic Product from renewable energy technology and energy efficiency, or around ...
Tunø Knob Offshore Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm in the Bay of Aarhus, Denmark.It is located on the sandbar Tunø Knob, west of the Tunø island.. The wind farm was commissioned in 1995 with 10 turbines, each a 500 kW Vestas V39.
The Middelgrunden wind farm stands on the shoal Middelgrunden, between shipping lanes in the Øresund, 3.5 km outside Copenhagen, Denmark. When it was built in 2000, it was the world's largest offshore farm, with 20 turbines (2 MW Bonus each) and a capacity of 40 MW. The farm delivers about 4% of the power for Copenhagen. [1]
Anholt Offshore Wind Farm is a Danish offshore wind power wind farm in the Kattegat, between Djursland and Anholt island. With a nameplate capacity of 400 megawatts (MW), it is one of the largest offshore wind farm in the world (along with BARD Offshore 1) and was the largest in Denmark from 2013 to 2019 (when Horns Rev 3 was inaugurated).
The total installed power capacity was 12.5 GW in 2001 and in the end of 2006 12.7 GW including 9.5 GW from natural gas, coal and oil and 3.1 GW wind power. [10] Denmark has almost no hydropower, [26] and no pumped storage. [27] Denmark had the 6th best energy security in the world in 2014, although this includes non-electrical energy. [28]
