Denmark to Build Country’s Biggest Offshore Wind Park (Update1)
By Christian Wienberg
Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) — Denmark will build its biggest offshore wind turbine park by 2012 with a capacity to supply power to 16 percent of the country’s homes.
The 400-megawatt park will be located off the coast of Djursland in western Denmark and will “soon” be offered in a tender to offshore wind operators, the Copenhagen-based Energy and Climate Ministry said today. The park will supply power to 400,000 homes, or twice as many as Horn Rev 2, which will be the biggest when it starts operating next year.
The Nordic country aims to increase renewable-energy output to 20 percent of consumption by 2011 as the country prepares to host the 2009 United Nations climate convention, where the European Union will push for bigger cuts to replace the expiring Kyoto Protocol.
“Denmark will expand its very strong position on sea-based windmills over the next four years,” Climate Minister Connie Hedegaard said in a statement. The decision on the park was backed by parties representing more than 90 percent of the national parliament’s lawmakers, the ministry said.
Cost
Dong Energy A/S, the world’s largest offshore wind operator, may bid for the park, Chief Executive Officer Anders Eldrup said in an Aug. 6 interview after press reports on the project.
Dong, based in Skaerbeak, Denmark and E.ON AG of Dusseldorf, Germany, last month bought Royal Dutch Shell Plc‘s stake in London Array, a planned 1,000 megawatt development of as many as 341 turbines off the southeast coast of Britain, after Shell said offshore wind costs had become too high.
The new Danish park will consists of 100 to 175 windmills depending on their size. The ministry didn’t disclose the expected price for the project. Analysts, including Kitty Groen at Svenska Handelsbanken AB in Copenhagen, estimate that mills cost at least 1 million euros per megawatt, which would value the project at more than 400 million euros ($592 million).

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
