The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) has authorized Jammerland Bay Nearshore permission to establish the Jammerland Bay coastal offshore wind farm near Kalundborg, northwest Zealand.

The project includes the installation of 16 offshore wind turbines, to be positioned south of Kalundborg and east of the Great Belt Trench between the Asnæs and Reersø peninsulas, and associated power lines and landfall cables.

The 256-m-tall turbines will provide a total power generation capacity of 240 MW.

Among the environmental measures requested by the DEA are the protection of mammals in the area. To safeguard bats, the wind turbines must either stop or rotate slowly after sunset, when the wind blows below 6 m/s, from April 1 through Oct. 31, and with a built-in "cut-in-speed".

In addition, double bubble curtains must be deployed when ramming down monopiles to limit construction noise and the impact on porpoises in the area.

The landfall cables will be brought ashore at Østrup, continuing on to a new transformer station at Kalundborg Refinery, with a connection at Energinet's high-voltage substation at the Asnæs power station.
