Køge Windmill Project in Zealand, Denmark

Køge Windmill Project in Zealand

As one of four pilots in Zealand, this project will focus on developing a wind farmon Køge pier. 

There are currently several projects to develop wind farms in Köge municipality. This includes a nearshore wind turbine project in the sea outside Køge, Solrød & Stevns municipalities - an onshore project in connection with the establishment of a new pier in Køge harbour. This farm would span three turbines of 125-150 meters, located on the northern section of the pier. In addition, there are two other onshore projects under development in Juellund & Vilkestrup. As the project on Køge pier is the one furthest into development, the pilot will focus specifically on that one.

Objectives

The project will include the preparation of a feasibility study identifying the optimal location and contributing to regulatory approval as well as developing financing models including aspects of local ownership. In addition, we will aim to contribute towards establishing an organisation and a company to build and operate the wind farm project.

Implementation

The implementation will be as follows:

• Preparation of a feasibility study, including the identification of the optimal location.
• Develop various financing models, and models for local ownership.
• Contribute to regulatory approval of the different elements
• Contribute to establish an organization and a company to build and operate the wind farm project.

Involved stakeholders are local investors, Køge municipality, local residents and Roskilde University.
