Danish fjord to host 400 MW of solar |
The Danish Energy Agency says there will be large scale PV projects in the Nissum Fjord area. One of the projects, under development by Better Energy in the municipality of Holstebro, has a planned generation capacity of 206 MW.
The Danish Energy Agency and national grid operator Energinet have announced land to the north of Nissum Fjord, in the west of the country, will host up to 400 MW of solar generation capacity.
The development was revealed as the two public bodies announced the cables necessary to export power from the 1 GW Thor offshore wind farm, planned to the west in the North Sea, would make landfall at Tuskær. That location is north of the fjord and marks a new development as the cables were previously expected to land to the south.
"This [landfall] decision is primarily based on considerable cost savings to be realized by grid connecting [the wind farm] north of Nissum Fjord, where the planned near-shore substation can serve both the Thor grid connection and up to 400 MW [of] PV-solar installations planned in the area," the Danish Energy Agency said. "Thus, the substation will serve 1,400 MW [of] installed renewable energy."
The agency did not reveal any details of the solar projects referred to and said the decision to connect north of the fjord was based on environmental advantages identified by preliminary site investigations and the fact fewer residents and landowners would be affected.
The Thor wind farm is currently being tendered.
