The Danish Environmental Protection Agency is holding the second of two hearings in connection with the new environmental assessment of onshore installations for the 168MW Vesterhav Syd offshore wind farm.
The hearing comes after the permit from 2017 was rejected by the Environment and Food Complaints Board in the summer of 2021 and sent it home for renewed consideration.
The environmental assessment covers all installations on land, including a radar installation, which must ensure that the anti-aircraft lights on the wind turbines only light up when there are aircraft nearby.
This is the second and final consultation phase before a new environmental permit can be issued, which is expected during the spring.
The consultation period runs from 12 December to 6 February 2023.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency is the authority for the plant on land, while the Danish Energy Agency is the authority for all plants on the water.
The new environmental assessment only covers the plant on land.
Sea turbines will be built in 2023 by Vattenfall, which won the tender to build Vesterhav Nord and Syd.
Energinet expects the 2nd public phase of the onshore facility for the Vesterhav Nord sister project to begin in January.
