Vattenfall and the Danish Energy Agency have signed final agreements for the Hesselø and Holmsland offshore wind projects, paving the way for the development of at least 1.8 GW of offshore wind capacity in Denmark.
The projects were awarded to Vattenfall in Denmark’s latest offshore wind tender in August 2026 and are expected to be operational by 2032, the company said.
The agreements were signed by Anne Mette Traberg, Country Manager Denmark at Vattenfall, and Adrian Lübbert, Director General of the Danish Energy Agency.
As part of the agreement, North Sea I Mid has been renamed Holmsland, reflecting its location off the coast of Holmsland. The name change was agreed upon to provide the project with a more recognisable identity.
Together, Hesselø and Holmsland will add at least 1.8 GW of offshore wind capacity to Denmark’s energy system, supporting rising electricity demand and the country’s long-term climate ambitions.
Commenting on the agreements, Anne Mette Traberg, Country Manager Denmark at Vattenfall, said, “As we deliver Nordlicht in Germany, progress Zeevonk in the Netherlands, and take the next steps with Hesselø and Holmsland in Denmark, we continue to build on our offshore wind experience and expertise across markets. Our focus remains clear: delivering competitive projects with discipline, creating long-term value and continuing to build momentum towards fossil freedom.”
Vattenfall currently operates five offshore wind farms in Denmark, generating around 6.5 TWh of fossil-free electricity annually. The company's offshore wind portfolio spans six European markets, covering projects at various stages of development, delivery and operation, the company stated.
