An erector of a wind turbine has a duty to pay compensation for
loss of value of real property following the erection of the wind
turbine. The size of the loss of value is determined by an
appraisal authority.
If a property loses more than 1 per
cent in value due to the erection of new wind turbines, the owner
is ensured full compensation for his loss. The owner of the
property must notify his claim for compensation for loss of value
to Energinet.dk. As owner of the property you can choose to enter
into a voluntary agreement for compensation for the loss of value
with the erector of the wind turbine, or you can ask an impartial
appraisal authority to make a specific appraisal of the property
and determine the scope of your loss.
The claim from the owner of a property affected must be notified
before the wind turbine has been erected. The erector of the wind
turbine is therefore obligated to visualise the project and prepare
other material as well as provide information to the citizens
affected at a public meeting no later than four weeks before the
municipal planning process ends. Any claims raised at a later stage
will only be assessed as an exception to the rule.
Energinet.dk, which is responsible for operating the electricity
grid in Denmark, is managing the scheme.
