The European Commission has approved Denmark’s plan to provide direct grants for the Hesselø and North Sea I Mid offshore wind farms. The scheme has a total budget of DKK 37.6 billion and is aimed at supporting renewable electricity generation. The decision means Denmark can move ahead with public funding for these offshore wind projects without the Commission objecting under EU State aid rules. The practical impact is mainly on project developers, the Danish Energy Agency, electricity market participants, and companies in the offshore wind supply chain.
