Focus on Kriegers Flak Wind Zone

Kriegers Flak is a Baltic Sea reef, located between Denmark and Sweden. As it includes parts of the economic zones of Denmark, Germany and Sweden, the three countries have authorized neighbouring projects in their respective jurisdiction: Baltic Offshore Wind in German waters, Kriegers Flak Offshore Wind in Danish waters, and Swedish Kriegers Flak. Of these, the first two wind farms have successfully proceeded through development, approval and into operation. To do so, they had to overcome the unique technical challenge of developing a first-ever hybrid interconnection to the differing European and Scandinavian electricity grids. The Swedish project is on hold, pending resolution of connection issues.
