Ørsted and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) have announced plans to set up a joint venture for the independent development of four offshore wind farm sites that will generate a combined 5.2 GW, more than doubling Denmark’s current installed offshore wind capacity.

The partnership would include the development, construction, and operation of the offshore wind farms as well as the related transmission assets. It envisages four projects that it says can deliver 5.2 GW by 2027/2028.

The four projects would include the 1.1 GW Vikinge Banke and the 1.1 GW Jyske Banke Nord, to be located off Denmark’s west coast, and the 1.5 GW Bornholm Bassin Syd and the 1.5 GW Bornholm Bassin Øst, both located to the east in the Baltic Sea. Under the terms of the proposal, the four offshore wind farms would be established without support from the Danish government and would be developed in parallel to any future government-led projects.
