Danish authorities have called for public submissions as part of a new environmental impact assessment process for Vattenfall’s 350MW Vesterhav project in the North Sea.
The Danish Energy Agency said that the public and relevant authorities could submit “ideas” about the content of supplementary EIAs by 16 August.
Earlier this year, Vattenfall was forced by the agency to prepare a supplementary EIA for both the project’s northern and southern sectors.
According to the authority, Vattenfall is working to move the turbines as far away from the coast as technologically and geographically possible to reduce the project’s visual impact.
The final layout pattern will appear in the EIAs that Vattenfall must now prepare.
The Swedish developer in March cancelled and said it would have to redo tenders for foundations, transition pieces, array cables and turbine installation, while requesting a three-year extension of the near-shore project’s commissioning deadline to 2023.
