The Danish government has dropped one of six sites in its 350MW nearshore wind tender.
Officials at the Danish Energy Agency confirmed a decision to drop the Sejero Bugt offshore wind zone, where concerns have been raised about impacts on ducks.
Bidders will now vie for the rights to build individual projects of up to 200MW across four zones as well as up to 50MW off Bornholm.
The deadline for bids, recently pushed back to 4 May, has been further delayed to 1 September as a result.
Final tender materials are scheduled to be published before the end of April with no other changes to the process are foreseen at this point, said DEA officials.
Three bidders have prequalified for the nearshore round. These include the WPD Hofor joint venture, Vattenfall and a consortium led by Danish developer European Energy.
