2 The amendment to the Electricity Supply Act, which entered into force on 1 January 2005, means that all environmentally friendly electricity, i.e. electricity from wind turbines and other renewable energy
(RE) plant, small CHP plants etc., is now sold under market conditions. The previous support for environmentally friendly electricity, where consumers were obliged to take electricity at a fixed settlement
price has also been transferred to financial support as a price supplement added to the market price.
3 In accordance with the energy policy agreement of 29 March 2004 two offshore wind turbine farms will be established, each of 200 MW, one at Horns Rev, and one at Rødsand.. The offshore wind
farms should be in operation in 2008/2009. There are currently no plans for further development of offshore wind farms. Any further development will depend on the initiatives taken in the Energy Strategy
2025, with a view to providing the basis for future extension based on market conditions.
