A 180MW nearshore project in the Danish North Sea won in a 2016 tender by Swedish utility Vattenfall is threatened by demands to retroactively move the project farther out into the sea, despite having previously been approved by local authorities and the Danish parliament.

The city council of Ringkøbing-Skjern on late Tuesday sent an inquiry to Danish parliamentary parties with an appeal to move the 20 Siemens Gamesa 8MW turbines for the Vesterhav South project farther out the sea than the currently planned four to ten kilometres from shore.
