DEA notified the European Commission and the Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) on 15 December that Denmark has decided to establish the new bidding zone DK3 at Energiø Bornholm.
The new bidding zone will enter into force when Bornholm Energy Island is in operation, currently scheduled for the end of 2030.
Bornholm Energy Island, located in the Danish sector of the Baltic Sea, will facilitate connecting at least 3 GW of offshore wind generation capacity to the grid. The electricity will then be transported via new grid connections to Germany (2 GW) and the Danish mainland (1.2 GW).
The TSOs 50Hertz and Energinet agreed in advance that they would each assume half of the infrastructure costs of the project. In return, the TSOs will share the congestion proceeds from the respective lines to Germany and Denmark and will each receive ownership of the (inter)connector to the respective mainland.
