Denmark's energy agency has selected a North Sea site 20km off the Central Jutland coast, for the location of what will become the country's biggest wind farm. The 800 MW facility, named Thor, is scheduled to be connected to the grid between 2024 and 2027, and is one of three to be tendered before 2023. Denmark plans to build its first offshore wind farm in 2022. A site 20km off the Central Jutland region will be offered to potential developers this year. Energy minister Lars Christian Lilleholt said the Thor site was key to "turning the North Sea into a Silicon Valley for offshore wind".
