    The Danish Energy Agency has approved plans
    to develop the Thor offshore wind farm at a site west of Thorsminde.

    In addition, as a result of the site assessment, the Danish Energy Agency reduced the area of the wind farm site from 440 square kilometers to 286 square kilometers
    .

    "The decision to approve the Thor offshore wind farm plan is based on a strategic environmental assessment and public consultation on the Thor offshore wind farm plan", and the Danish Energy Agency has determined that the wind farm can be built
    "without significant environmental impact".

    The decision can be appealed to the Energy Appeals Board for a period of 4 weeks until June 28
    , 2021.

    Commenting on the reasons behind the decision to scale down the site of the proposed wind farm, the Danish Energy Agency said: "The results of the assessment process as well as the site selection survey and other considerations led to the downsizing of the Thor site
    .
    Many factors were taken into account, including visual impact, birds, reefs, raw materials, fishing and navigation safety
    .

    In parallel with the Environmental Assessment of the Thor Plan with the Environmental Protection Agency as authority, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has also been conducted for specific onshore facilities and is currently undergoing public consultation until June 21
    , 2021.

    "This process is expected to lead to the issuance of an EIA permit
    for onshore projects by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency in August 2021," the Energy Agency said.

    The Thor wind farm has a capacity of 800-1000 MW and will be connected to the grid
    between 2025 and 2027.
    The Danish Energy Agency will conclude the tender process and make the final tender
    in the fourth quarter of 2021.

    The Thor offshore wind farm is the first
    of three large offshore wind farms that Denmark plans to build by 2030.
