tendering procedure, Energinet will be
objectively liable for damages and for any
consequential loss suffered by the developer.

compensation mechanisms
Energinet may order a reduction or a
shutdown of electricity production for the
sake of security of supply or for economically
optimal utilisation of the system if this is
necessary because of:
1. faults or maintenance work; or
2. capacity limitations in the overall GCS.
The developer is compensated by Energinet
for any losses incurred as a result of
reduction (except for force majeure). The
loss shall be calculated based on the sales of
electricity production as a price
corresponding to the total value of the
market price and price supplement (if the
price supplement is paid) or as a price
corresponding to the set market price per
kWh.
According to the Danish Electricity Supply
Act, electricity produced from renewable
energy plants has preferential access to the
grid. Thus, Energinet can only reduce or
curtail the production from such plants if a
reduction in electricity produced from other
kinds of plants is not sufficient to maintain
the technical quality and balance within the
coherent electricity supply system.

VI. Real estate
A. Rights over land to be secured
The developer must negotiate with, and
compensate, local landowners, if the onshore
cable routing runs through their land.
Securing land between the OWF and the grid
is the developer’s responsibility. If a
landowner does not wish to enter into an
agreement, the developer can apply to the
Danish Safety Technology Authority for
permission to expropriate the land under the
Electricity Safety Act.
No offshore land rights shall be secured for
the construction and operation of the OWFs.
Further, the required licences granted for
construction and operation of the OWFs in
Danish territorial waters, the continental
shelf, or in the EEZ do not confer any
ownership rights of the territories concerned
to the licensee.
B. Costs and risk of legal challenges
Not relevant for offshore projects as
described in section V.A.
