Denmark’s latest technology-neutral renewables tender has lured 271 MW of onshore wind and solar project proposals, including hybrid wind-solar projects, the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) announced on Friday.

The weighted average price premium of the winning bids reached a record low level of DKK 0.0154 (USD 0.0023/EUR 0.0021) per kWh. The budget allocated for this competitive round, which was capped at DKK 0.06 per kWh, was DKK 258 million, with the tender awarding support in the form of a fixed-price supplement on top of the market electricity price for a 20-year period.

Winning projects are required to become operational and start feeding power to the grid within two years from the contract signing date.

A total of seven bids were received between end-September and end-November for 135 MW of onshore wind and 136 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. The solar capacity is in direct current (DC). The following table contains further details about the proposals.
