Background
The vision of the Danish government is
to achieve a society independent of fossil fuels. As part of this
vision, the government is working towards the goal of achieving a
share of renewable energy of 30% of gross consumption by
2020.
The offshore wind farm is part of the
February 2008 Energy Policy Agreement between the Danish Government
and all of the parliamentary parties, except the Danish Red-Green
Alliance (Enhedslisten). When finished in 2012, the 400 MW offshore
wind farm will deliver environmentally friendly electricity
corresponding to the annual electricity consumption of 400,000
households. This equals app. 4 % of the Danish electricity
production.
