Technical requirements: Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and environmental investigations for Offshore wind farms and energy islands in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea
With the Climate Agreement for Energy and Industry of the 22nd of June 2020 the majority of the Dan-ish Parliament decided that Denmark will become the first country in the world to begin the construc-tion of two energy island with a total capacity of 5 GW offshore wind.
One of the islands will be located in the North Sea with a capacity of 3 GW. This island can be further scaled up to 10 GW offshore wind. The other energy island will be established on the current island of Bornholm with a capacity of 2 GW. The islands are scheduled for completion by 2030.
Following the political decision, the Danish Energy Agency has instructed the Energinet to initiate site investigations, environmental and metocean studies and analysis for grid connection for the area of investigation.
Strategic environmental assessment (SEA) and environmental investigations for Offshore wind farms and energy islands in the North Sea
The North Sea The investigation area – which is located approximately 100 km west of Harboøre (Jutland) – and at Energinets and Consultants offices
A broad coalition of Danish parties decided on June 22, 2020 to initiate the realization of two energy islands:
In the North Sea, as an artificial island, which will serve as a hub for offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 3 GW and potentially up to 10 GW in the future.
In the Baltic Sea, the Island of Bornholm will be the physical hub for offshore wind farms with a total capacity of 2 GW.
Both energy islands will export power to the mainland of Denmark and neighboring countries and are intended to serve as a hub that collects electricity from the surrounding offshore windfarms and distributes the electricity between countries via electricity grid connections.
One of the islands will be located in the North Sea with a capacity of 3 GW, and this island will be extended in stages as the construction of new international connections to neighboring countries are developed, and the demand of power will increase. In the future, the island can be further scaled up to 10 GW offshore wind. The other energy island will be established on the current island of Bornholm with a capacity of 2 GW.
Following the political decision, the Danish Energy Agency has instructed the Energinet to initiate site investigations, environmental and metocean studies and analysis for grid connection for the area of investigation. The current tender (lot 1) concerns consultancy services for preparing environmental assessments, planning consents and marine environmental baseline investigations for an energy island with surrounding offshore wind farms in the North Sea.
The current tender concerns consultancy services for preparing environmental assessments, planning consents and marine environmental baseline investigations for two energy islands and offshore wind projects in Denmark.
The tendered assignment is divided into 2 lots. Lot 1 concerns the North Sea and lot 2 concerns the Baltic Sea. Tenderers applying for prequalification will apply for both lot 1 and lot 2. Regardless of the Tenderers being prequalified for lot 1 and lot 2, a Tenderer will maximum be awarded one (1) lot. Lot 1 will be prioritized, and the Tenderer awarded lot 1 will therefore have its tender-offer for lot 2 taken out of the evaluation for lot 2.
