Danish developer European Energy has received approval of the environmental impact assessments for the Omo South and Jammerland Bay offshore wind farms off the coast of Denmark.
The projects, which will have a combined capacity of 560MW, are expected to enter into operation in 2023, the company said.
European Energy said it is now ready to start with the development phase of the projects.
The two wind farms will create 60-80 permanent jobs and 3000 to 5000 jobs during construction, it added.
European Energy chief executive Knud Erik Andersen said: “I am pleased that we can contribute with such a significant boost to the green transition.
“In addition to supplying green electricity to over half a million Danish households, we will also remove about 750,000 tonnes of CO2.
“Furthermore, we will strengthen local growth and employment. In the construction phase, thousands will be employed – both directly and indirectly.
“We are very satisfied to receive the authorities’ approvals of both projects after eight years of thorough review.
“We are now ready to enter the next phase, which means that the projects will hopefully be ready to contribute to CO2-reductions by 2023.
“I would like to thank the authorities for their collaboration, which we look forward to continue.
“Furthermore, we are looking forward to continue the dialogue with local stakeholders, which is a priority for us.”
