Rødsand II Offshore Wind Farm Reopen for Tenders

Jakob Lau Holst (2008-02-10)

The Danish Energy Authority is soliciting new tenders for the Rødsand II Offshore Wind Farm south of Lolland.

 

Domestic and international companies may bid to construct the 200 MW offshore wind farm, which shall be connected to the Danish electrical grid by 30 September 2011.

 

Rødsand II had previously been open for competitive bidding, won by a consortium of Energi E2, DONG Vind and E.ON Vind Sverige.

The project later was turned over solely to E.ON Vind, which decided in late December 2007 not to construct the wind farm under the specified terms.

 

Now a new solicitation of tenders is underway. Since the project's environmental impact has already been assessed and described in an EIA report that will be made available to the new contractor, the project is not starting completely over, but can draw upon the work already done. The Danish Energy Authority expects that a winning bidder will be named before the summer holidays.

 

The Danish Energy Authority invites all interested companies to bid on the project.

 

Terms for the project are described in the tender specifications, which are available on the Authority's website along with the EIA report, maps, geotechnical data and other relevant information.

 

The deadline for bid submissions is 2 April 2008.
