Last updated: 4 July 2012
This framework was a binding agreement among the government and the two main electricity providers to install 750 MW of offshore wind by 2008 as the first phase of a planned installation of 4 000 MW of offshore wind turbines before 2030. Two demonstration projects have been completed with a total capacity of 320 MW. In 2002 the government annulled the obligation to construct all 750 MW and instead will employ a tendering process.
