Case Study: Offshore wind farm project in Copenhagen, Denmark

Download Case Study: PDF Icon EnglishEnglish | FrançaisFrançais | PolskiPolski

Abstract

Wind energy is not the energy source that immediately comes to mind when thinking about renewable energy in cities. Few cities have enough space within their area to build large wind farms. You may rather find small wind turbines on suitable locations within the city's area or see cities doing feasibility studies on this subject. The city of Kobenhavn has recently taken part in a large offshore wind farm project, two kilometres from the city's coastline. The project is based on a partnership between the municipality and local shareholders.

Keywords: Wind energy; Demand Side Management (DSM)

This case study was prepared by Energie-Cités in co-operation with Middelgrundens Vindmollelaug I/S and the utility, Kobenhavns Energi. It received funding from the ALTENER Programme of DGXVII of the European Commission.
