In the summer of 2008, the level of support for electricity produced from wind turbines was increased. The subsidy varies depending on a number of factors such as the size of the turbine and time of connection to the grid.
New wind turbines - onshore as well as offshore -receive a price premium of 25 øre/kWh for 22.000 full load hours. Additional 2,3 øre/kWh is provided in the entire lifetime of the turbine to compensate for the cost of balancing etc.
Household wind turbines below 25 kW receive a fixed feed in tariff of 60 øre/kWh.
For special wind farms at sea the subsidy is settled by a tender procedure. In previous tenders the Horns Rev II wind park of 200 MW ended at a fixed feed in tarif of 51,8 øre/kWh in 50.000 full load hours, while Rødsand II wind park of 200 MW ended at a fixed tariff of 62,9 øre/kWh for 50.000 full load hours.
Most recently, DONG Energy
won the tender for Anholt Offshore wind farm with a feed-in-tariff of 105,1 øre/kWh in 20 TWh.
