Tender for the offshore wind farm areas in the North Sea 1

The government and a broad majority of the parties in the Parliament decided in May 2023 to initiate the tender for three offshore wind farms in the North Sea I area:

  • North Sea I A1
  • North Sea I A2
  • North Sea I A3

The tender for the 3 parks had a submission deadline in December 2024. For many reasons, no bids were received for the construction of the parks.

In return, there is now a new tender for the parks North Sea Mid and North Sea South. The 2 parks have submission deadlines in May 2026 and in the autumn of 20278, with construction of the facilities in the early 2030s. 

Both parks (North Sea Mid and North Sea South) have Hvide Sande harbor as their clear nearest port of call.

Nearest port to North Sea 1

Port of Hvide Sande is, as the map shows, the nearest port to all 3 offshore wind farms and will therefore, with its unique location, flexible infrastructure, previous experience with offshore projects, and large palette of service companies, offer quay facilities and areas for, among others:

  • O&M Service centers including quay-adjacent areas for the 25-30 year operating period
  • Landing of CTVs, SOVs, diving vessels, support ships, etc.
  • Commissioning base during the construction phase
  • Office and storage facilities, as well as quay facilities for the landing of crew transfer vessels
  • Scour Protection projects
  • Service Jack-up vessels
  • Cable projects

Power for 3 million households annually

Each of the 3 offshore wind farms has a size of 1GW, additionally, it will be possible to 'overplant' with more turbines for use in e.g. Power-to-X. 1 GW translates roughly to 1 million households' annual power consumption.

This means that the three parks together can deliver enough power to cover 3 million households annually.
