Kriegers Flak EIA made public

The Danish Energy Agency and National Nature Agency have published the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the construction of Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm. The document is now open to public consultation.

The period of consultation is eight weeks. Within this period the two agencies together with Energinet.dk will conduct several public meetings where local citizens will have the opportunity to ask questions about the environmental aspects of the project.

The draft EIA concludes that the construction and presence of the Kriegers flak offshore wind farm, the transformer platforms, the cables routing onshore and the associated onshore installations will have impacts on the environment. However in the majority of the cases, the environmental impacts will be temporary and are linked to the actual construction work.

The Danish Nature Agency and the Danish Energy Agency are jointly responsible for the EIA of the project. Construction work cannot begin with an EIA permit being issued. The National Danish Nature Agency oversees the environmental impact of onshore installations, while Danish Energy Agency is the governing body for the offshore installations (turbines and routing onshore etc.).

Energinet.dk is responsible for the construction of grid connection onshore and offshore and is also responsible for preparing preliminary investigations and EIA for the whole project.

A draft EIA has already been through a consultation with the Danish public authorities.

Kriegers Flak OWF will be located in the Danish zone of the Kriegers Flak area. The 180 km² zone in the Baltic Sea was identified by the DEA's (Danish energy Agency) offshore wind programme in 2010 as one of the most attractive locations for a future Danish offshore wind farm. Sweden and Germany have also designated their territorial areas with Kriegers Flak for offshore wind, which could lead to an estimated combined total of up to 1,600 MW of offshore wind turbines.
