Comments on the status After a strategic impact assessment this area is one of five that is seen as having good factors and it is recommended that these areas are prioritised for potential offshore wind farms.
According to the ocean act of 01/07/2010 the establishment of renewable energy production at sea can in principle take place only after the state has opened the specified geographical areas for applications for licenses. This is one area being investigated for suitability.

A report on impacts of 15 potential wind farm areas with consideration to technical-economic and environmental factors was published. The conclusions showed that 5 areas had good technical-economic conditions and the overall consequences were considered acceptable, 8 other areas areas could be considered if the conditions warranted and 2 of the areas will never be opened due to issues with land use and environmental conditions.
