Turbines in Denmark
The total installed power and the numbers of turbines in Denmark has had a continually increase until 2002. During 2001 to 2003 a replacement agreement was carried out, where smaller and badly placed turbines were replaced with bigger turbines. 1.300 old turbines with a power of about 100 MW were replaced by 300 new turbines with a power of 300 MW.
In 2004 a new replacement agreement running to 2009 was introduced. The agreement involves replacing old 175 MW turbines with 350 MW turbines. However, the agreement has until now had a limited effect. Besides the replacement agreement two offshore farms, each on 200 MW, have been approved (Horns Rev II and Rødsand II). These farms are expected to be connected to the grid in 2009-2010.
By the end of January 2007 there was 5.267 turbines installed in Denmark with a total power of 3.135 MW.
