2.1 Procedure

Title : Market Dialogue - 3 GW Offshore Wind Farms - Denmark
Description : The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) invites potential tenderers and relevant economic operators to participate in the market dialogue regarding the procurement procedures of 3 GW Offshore Wind Farms – Denmark. The draft procurement material of the upcoming procurement procedures of 3 GW Offshore Wind Farms is largely based upon the procurement material of the procurement procedures of 6 GW Offshore Wind Farms, where the three (3) North Sea I areas received no bids in December 2024. Since December thorough new analyses have been made based upon dialogues with the market in December 2024 and January 2025 to support the political decision to determine which changes could be made to the procurement procedures to ensure market participation in a potential retender. Pursuant to the political agreement about the retender, dated 19. May 2025, the original procurement procedures have been amended to reflect changes, i.e. to the amount of sites tendered out simultaneously and the timeline, both regarding the procurement process and the construction process of the offshore wind farm, the minimum requirements for eligibility, the payment structure, constituting subsidy through a capability-based Contract for Difference (CfD), and the sanction regime.Pursuant to the political agreement about the retender, dated 19. May 2025, the original procurement procedures have been amended to reflect changes, i.e. for example to the amount of sites tendered out simultaneously and the timeline, both regarding the procurement process and the construction process of the offshore wind farm, the minimum requirements for eligibility, the payment structure, constituting subsidy through a capability-based Contract for Difference (CfD), and the sanction regime. The market dialogue will be initiated in two steps. The first step concerns a report regarding the proposed method for collecting relevant data and estimating potential production in a capability-based two-way Contract for Difference (CfD) scheme, which will apply in the new procurement procedures of 3 GW Offshore Wind Farms. The report is accompanied by a questionnaire for the participants in the market dialogue. Both the report and the questionnaire will be published by the DEA in EU-Supply, simultaneously with the initiation of the market dialogue. The second step of the market dialogue concerns the draft procurement material as a whole, and it will be initiated by the DEA through the "Messages"-module in EU Supply. The second step of the market dialogue will be conducted expectedly during June/July-August. When the second step of the market dialogue is initiated, the DEA expects to publish all documents of the procurement material. However, if deemed necessary by the DEA, the DEA reserves the right to publish specific documents of the procurement material after the second step of the market dialogue is initiated. All new material published through EU-Supply will be announced to all participants through the "Messages"-module as they are published. Potential tenderers and relevant economic operators who wish to participate in the market dialogue should hence sign up in EU-Supply. Participation in both or either steps of the market dialogue is not a prerequisite for participation in the market dialogue as a whole and potential tenderers and relevant economic operators are therefore welcome to provide input only to the initially published material regarding the proposed method for collecting relevant data and estimating potential production in a capability-based two-way CfD or to the subsequent draft procurement material or to both sets of material. A public consultation regarding certain State aid law aspects will be conducted simultaneously with the second step of the market dialogue, and will also be conducted through EU-Supply. For further information regarding the procedure of the market dialogue, reference is made to the descriptions under section "Additional information" in the category "Further Information".

Country : Denmark
Additional information : The location sites of the offshore wind farms is in North Sea I, Mid, North Sea I, South, and Hesselø, and the exact locations will be further specified in the procurement documents.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information : The initial step of the market dialogue concerning the proposed method for collecting relevant data and estimating potential production in a capability-based two-way CfD is based on a report, Estimation of Available Active Power for Two-Way Contract for Difference in Offshore Wind Energy Application, available in EU-supply. The market dialogue will be carried out primarily in writing in accordance with the specifications presented in the document, Invitation to market dialogue about 3 GW Offshore Wind Farm. However, the first step of the market dialogue will include an information meeting regarding the method for collecting relevant data and estimating potential production under a capability-based two-way CfD. The module, “Messages”, in EU-Supply, shall be used to attach and submit the inputs from the participants. The participants in the market dialogue are invited to submit answers as soon as possible to the questionnaire regarding the report containing the proposed method for collecting relevant data and estimating potential production in a capability-based two-way CfD, as the inputs received are most valuable and will be used for the further development of the method supporting the subsidy scheme. The second step in the market dialogue concerns the draft procurement material as a whole, and it will be initiated by the DEA through the "Messages"-module in EU Supply. The second step of the market dialogue will be conducted expectedly during June/July-August, and the draft procurement material will be uploaded to EU-Supply, when the second step is initiated. A public consultation with a questionnaire regarding the DEA’s main assumptions and considerations regarding the state aid's impact on competition and the proportionality of the aid, will be conducted simultaneously with the second step of the market dialogue. This public consultation fulfils the obligation for the DEA according to section 4.1.3.4 of the CEEAG and will be open for inputs during the required six (6) weeks. The participants in the market dialogue are invited to submit their written inputs to the DEA regarding both the first step and the second step of the market dialogue at the latest on 6. August 2025. As part of the finalization of the procurement documents for the upcoming procurement procedures the Danish Energy Agency is currently still assessing the appropriate legal basis for the procurement procedures. It is however the expectation of the Danish Energy Agency that the procurement procedures will be conducted according to Directive 2014/24/EU, implemented into Danish Law by the Danish Public Procurement Act, statutory order (LBK) no. 116 of 03/02/2025. All communication during the market dialogue will take place via EU-Supply.
