Residual risks across the tender framework in Denmark's upcoming 3 GW offshore wind auction
To bid or not to bid? That is the question facing developers in Denmark's upcoming offshore wind auction right now.
With less than a month to the 20 May 2026 bid deadline for the 1 GW North Sea Middle and 0.8 GW Hesselø sites, residual risks are important to identify and price in especially as the two sites do not carry the same economic capacity to absorb those risks.
Aegir Insights' latest report has identified the most important unresolved risks in the tender framework across the two auctioned sites, spanning financing, grid, permitting, support-scheme mechanics, tax and legal discretion:
🔹Permitting and grid risks are the most likely to materialize.
🔹Tax and legal issues carry the largest impact if they occur.
🔹Some risks cannot be mitigated as they either are non-negotiable or based on the discretion of a third-party.
