25 04 / COUNTRY REPORTS DENMARK Kim Nielsen Ramboll INTRODUCTION In March 2012, the Danish Government and the opposition entered an agreement on the Danish energy policy for 2012-2020. With the political initiatives in the agreement, the CO2 emission in 2020 will be 34% less than in 1990 and energy consumption will be reduced by 12%. Approximately 35% of the energy will come from renewable resources. As part of this agreement, DKK100 million [€13 million] is allocated to promote development and use of new renewable electricity production technologies, as well as DKK25 million [€3 million] specifically for wave energy during the period 2012-2015. In 2012, a new Danish strategy for the development of wave energy was developed by the Partnership for Wave Energy - a partnership between developers of wave energy systems, universities, institutes and industries in Denmark. The project “A new strategy for wave energy through industrial partnership” was initiated by the Wave Energy Research Group from Aalborg University. The project was funded by the Danish Energy Agency’s EUDP programme. The strategy is summarized below and the views expressed by the Partnership for Wave Energy do not necessarily represent the views of the Energy Agency. OCEAN ENERGY POLICY With the report ‘Wave Energy Technology Strategy for Research, Development and Demonstration 2012’, the Danish wave energy sector presents a strategy, which aims at the development of cost effective wave energy plants – even more cost effective compared to wind power, when placed far offshore in deep water. Strategy and National Targets The vision of the strategy is that Danish industry and businesses will develop competitive wave energy technologies and components to be sold both in the national and the international market. By 2030, wave energy technology can provide a cost-effective and sustainable electricity supply from energy farms located offshore in Denmark. The development is envisaged to take place through a strengthened and extended industrial cooperation on development of key technology areas identified by the Partnership and through continued demonstration of a selection of different operating principles, in order to identify the most efficient and reliable components, PTO systems, mooring systems and electrical interconnections and grid connections. DanWEC, placed in Hanstholm in the North Sea, received Greenlab and regional funding of €2 million in 2012 to its first phase of establishment. The strategy suggests demonstration projects to be carried out at DanWEC, partly funded by a grant and partly funded by a conditional and project specific feed-in tariff based on the performance of the device (forskVE/Energinet.dk). Presently, Wavestar is located at DanWEC and the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) group visited the site in connection with the 23rd EXCO meeting in Aalborg as seen in figure 1.

The Partnership identified key areas for joint development. These areas are: ÌÌ further develop the mooring systems ÌÌ further develop PTO systems ÌÌ further develop electrical transmission from floating structure to the seabed ÌÌ materials and components Roadmap The Partnership was asked by the Danish Energy Agency to provide a roadmap towards the development of a 500 MW wave energy plant of in the North Sea. 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Test and demonstration “Forsk VE” model Demonstration projects Small wave energy parks Large wave energy parks Invitation to tender offshore energy packs FIGURE 2: Development plan proposed by the Partnership for Waves in Denmark ANNUAL REPORT 2012
