Danish grid operator Energinet and the Danish Energy Agency will host a meeting for potential bidders and investors for the upcoming Thor offshore wind zone tender on 25 November.
The aim of the meeting will be to enhance the available information to support lowest possible bids in the tender for the project, which will have a minimum capacity of 800MW.
The meeting will include a presentation on the main elements of the tendering process.
Potential bidders will have the opportunity to influence the framework conditions and the tendering material.
Topics to be covered include the timetable for the tendering process, pre-qualification conditions, award criteria and financial terms, compliance penalties, environmental assessment and issues related to the wind farm’s grid connection.
The meeting will be held at the Danish Energy Agency’s offices in Copenhagen.
The agency has also published the results of the technical dialogue held in May 2019 concerning site-investigations for the Thor offshore wind site.
Thor is the first of the three new offshore wind farms with a minimum capacity of 800MW to be constructed before 2030 in line with the Danish Energy Agreement of 2018.
Thor is to be located in the North Sea, outside of Nissum Fjord, at a minimum distance of 20km from the coast.
