Denmark has decided to include the offshore grid connection in the scope of its upcoming 800MW-plus offshore wind tender.
Previously the Danish transmission system operator Energinet has been responsible for constructing and operating the offshore substation and export cables.
The responsibility will now be with the winner of the tender, the Danish Energy Agency said.
Energinet will continue to have responsibility for the onshore wires and substation, it added.
Copenhagen has also offered developers the flexibility to bid with projects of up to 1GW in size.
The tender for the rights to develop an offshore wind farm at the project site, dubbed Thor, will be held this year, with power due online between 2024 and 2027.
Denmark's new energy policy, revealed last June, will also involve two subsequent rounds of at least 800MW, to offer a combined minimum Danish capacity boost of 2.4GW by 2030.
