The law promoting renewable energy states that applications can not be submitted outside tenders that completely or partially overlap with the state land reservations. Applications received in these areas must be rejected by the Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities.
On that basis, the Danish Energy Agency cancels the authority hearings on the offshore wind farms at Hanstholm, Stevns and Falster.
