Kriegers Flak is a 605 MW offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea on the Danish part of the reef of the same name.
[5] This has the advantage that up to the capacity of the connection the produced power can be transmitted to the country with the highest demand and price, improving the economy of the wind farms.
[5] Thus, when Kriegers Flak operates at its full 600 MW capacity at least one third of the produced power must be transmitted to Denmark.
[13] In November 2020, the European Union allowed the connection to transmit available wind power to shore rather than conform to the 70% market transmission rule.
By November 2015 seven companies and consortia had been prequalified to bid on the project; an unusually high number of bidders.
[20] The low price was achieved by optimizing several aspects of the process, including the long-standing policy of authorities to prepare shovel ready projects with all necessary permissions.
[17] May 2018 saw installation of the three offshore converter stations that will transmit the electricity from the wind turbines to the onshore substations in Denmark and Germany[2] and in November 2018 its dual electric connection to the offshore station of EnBW Baltic 2 was successfully tested.
