Denmark has reached a political agreement to streamline the development of larger onshore energy parks featuring solar panels and wind turbines, with a focus on facilitating the integration of power-to-X facilities.
The government announced the accord on Tuesday, highlighting the potential for increased compensation to neighbors and local communities as part of the initiative.

The agreement is designed to support the ambitious goal of quadrupling electricity production from onshore solar and wind sources by the year 2030. While Green Power Denmark welcomed the move, it emphasized that additional initiatives are necessary to meet this target due to the current slow pace of onshore renewables expansion.
According to the organization, the government's commitment will advance the development of 32 identified areas that could potentially become energy parks, offering opportunities for planning and environmental relaxations.

Vestas, a leading Danish wind turbine manufacturer, also expressed its views on the development in a LinkedIn post. While welcoming the agreement, Vestas reiterated the need for additional measures to accelerate the expansion of green energy.
The company underscored its proposals, which include implementing a maximum two-year processing timeframe for renewable energy projects and establishing binding annual targets for new renewable energy initiatives.
