Pause to Danish offshore wind scheme is absurd
The Danish Government has put on hold Denmark’s “open door” offshore wind development procedure. Pausing this established and effective scheme creates investment uncertainty for 20 GW of offshore wind currently under planning and development. It seriously undermines Denmark’s 2030 targets for offshore wind, which are central to Europe’s wider targets. And it flies in the … Continue reading Pause to Danish offshore wind scheme is absurd
