A new environmental impact assessment has been launched for the northern section of Vattenfall's 350MW Vesterhav project in Denmark.
The widely-expected move comes after the Danish Energy Agency last month initiated a new EIA process for the southern section of the project.
Vattenfall is facing months of delays obtaining the updated regulatory approvals, but is still aiming to commission the near-shore development by an end-2020 construction deadline.
The company requested the new EIA for the northern section of Vesterhav, with the DEA having previously indicated it was likely to force a relaunch of the process.
Vesterhav is slated to feature 41 Siemens Gamesa 8.4MW turbines.
