Title : Kattegat Offshore Wind Farm - Denmark
Description : The Danish Parliament has in recent years agreed to a large expansion in offshore wind farms in Denmark. The aim is to ensure the green transition and strengthening the future security of supply of energy in Denmark. The political agreements that this procurement concerns are: - Climate Agreement from the 29 June 2018, - Climate Agreement from the 22 June 2020, - the Financial Act from the 4 December 2022, - Climate Agreement regarding green electricity and heat from the 25 June 2022, and - additional Agreement on the procurement details regarding 6 GW offshore wind and Energy Island Bornholm from May 30 2023. This procurement concerns the establishment of one (1) new large-scale offshore wind farm named "Kattegat", pursuant to the directive 2014/23/EU on the award of concession contracts as implemented into Danish law by the executive order no. 1080 of 29 June 2022 on award of concession contracts. Please note that the name of the offshore wind farm can be changed by the DEA. Such change will not affect the geographical location of the offshore wind farm. The Kattegat will in the following be called “the offshore wind farm”. The Concessionaire is obliged to establish the offshore wind farm to be held in co-ownership with State Holding with the production capacity of electricity of at least 1 GW. State Holding is a company that will be established by the State of Denmark as a wholly owned public limited liability company (in Danish: “aktieselskab” or “A/S”) prior to the award signing of the Concession Agreement. State Holding shall purchase 20% of the Concessionaire at the end of the investment period (6 months after signing the Concession Agreement). State Holding will be a passive investor and a minority shareholder of the Concessionaire. The co-ownership is further described below in the section “Contract terms”. The offshore wind farm shall be established before 31 December 2030. The Concessionaire will in special cases be entitled to an extension of this deadline. Connection of the offshore wind farm to the Danish Transmission Grid is voluntary for the Concessionaire. The Concession Agreement further enables the Concessionaire to establish Overplanting Capacity within the Concession Area, i.e. it is optional for Concessionaire to establish more than 1 GW capacity within the Concession Area. Furthermore, the Concessionaire may exploit the production capacity of electricity from the offshore wind farm for energy production, such as but not limited to innovative energy production (e.g. Power-to-X), if this is otherwise possible within the applicable legislation, and provided it takes place within the Concession Area. As a natural consequence of the Concession Agreement, the Concessionaire bears all commercial risks associated with the establishment, operation and decommissioning of the offshore wind farm, including any potential overplanting capacity. Such commercial risks include but is not limited to energy price development, legislative changes and general market conditions and demands. Additionally, the Concessionaire is responsible for the commercial risks related to any innovative energy production (e.g. Power-to-X facility). The Concessionaire shall also bear the actual cost for the temporary and permanent preventive measures implemented so as to prevent deteriorations in the quality of the current military radio communication and radar surveillance caused by the offshore wind farm. Furthermore, the Concessionaire shall bear the full cost of the offshore preliminary investigations performed by Energinet, pursuant to section 23 (3) of the the Renewable Energy Act (RE Act), statutory order no. 132 of 6 February 2024. Further, costs to be borne by the Concessionaire will be stipulated in the construction license and/or procurement material. The location site of the offshore wind farm is further stated below under section "Place of Performance" as well as in procurement material Appendix 2 (Location of the Concession Area). Before the deadline for submission of tender, the Concession Area as set out in Appendix 2 (Location of the Concession Area) may be adjusted as a result of the preparation of the environmental report for the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the plan for the offshore wind farm subject to this procurement procedure. For further information, reference is made to section 1 of the Procurement Specifications. Reference is further made to the regulation in the Procurement Specifications, Annex F (Concession Agreement), Appendix 1 (Project Specification), and the procurement material as a whole.

2.1.4 General information

Additional information : Regarding tender submission deadline: Please note that due to a system error, the deadline for submission of tender is displayed in a different time zone. The deadline for submission of tender is 1 April 2025 at 14:00 (local Danish time). Regarding tender validity: The Tenderer must keep its tender open for acceptance for eight (8) months from expiry of the tender submission deadline. If the DEA considers it appropriate due to delays resulting from the procedures pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies or the Danish Investment Screening Act, the DEA may invite all Tenderers to accept an extension of the period in which they must keep their tenders open for acceptance. All Tenderers will in this situation be free to decide whether to accept the extension of the tender validity period as proposed by the DEA. Where a Tenderer does not accept an extension of the tender validity period, the tender of such Tenderer will expire at the end of the initial tender validity period of eight (8) month from the tender submission deadline and such Tenderer will no longer be considered for the award of the Concession Agreement. If Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies does not prevent the award of the Concession Agreement at such time, the DEA may at any time choose to award the Concession Agreement to the Tenderer who has submitted the tender with the highest bid price, subject to this Tenderer obtaining the necessary authorisation pursuant to the Danish Investment Screening Act if relevant. In this case the Tenderer, to whom the DEA awards the Concession Agreement, must keep its tender open for acceptance until conclusion of the Concession Agreement. Regarding the estimated value of the concession: The estimated value of the concession is 54,000,000,000.00 DKK covering the required establishment of an offshore wind farm with a production capacity of electricity of 1 GW. In addition thereto, the estimated value of the production capacity of electricity, which the Concessionaire may establish in addition to 1 GW, called Overplanting Capacity, is estimated at 8,500,000,000.00 DKK, based on a potential for establishment of additional 0,2 GW Overplanting Capacity. The method of calculation of the estimated value of the concession is further described in the Procurement Specifications, section 1. Regarding the mandatory exclusion grounds: Furthermore, a Tenderer must include in the tender an ESPD, as described further in the Procurement Specifications, section 7, as preliminary proof of the conditions specified in section 148 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no. 1080 of 29 June 2022 on award of concession contracts. Upon request, the Tenderer to whom the DEA intends to award the Concession Agreement, or all Tenderers must submit documentation regarding the information stated in the ESPD, cf. section 151(1) or 151(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. Furthermore, if the Tenderer relies on the capacity of other entities and/or if the Tenderer consists of a group of economic operators a separate ESPD, must be submitted for each of the participating entities and the ESPD shall each contain the relevant information. If the Tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities and/or if the Tenderer consists of a group of economic entities, the documentation regarding the information stated in the ESPD must be submitted for each participating entity. The documentation regarding this exclusion ground can consist of the following: • An extract from the relevant register, such as judicial records or, failing that, of an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the Member State or country of origin or the country where the economic operator is established showing that the economic operator is not covered by the exclusion grounds listed in section 135 (1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 4 of the of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. and • A certificate issued by the competent authority in the Member State or country concerned, showing that the economic operator is not covered by the exclusion grounds listed in section 135 (3) and section 137 (1), no. 2, cf. section 4 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. Where the Member State or country in question does not issue such documents or certificates, or where these do not cover all the exclusion ground, they may be replaced by a declaration on oath. In Member States or countries where there is no provision for declarations on oath, a solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the Member State or country of origin or in the Member State or country where the economic operator is established, may be used. It is accentuated that the documentation must also include documentation regarding the exclusion ground in section 135 (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 4 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. The DEA will generally accept the documentation, which is listed in e-Certis for the relevant country, cf. section 152 (3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. Reference is further made to the descriptions in the Procurement Specifications. For groups of entities, and/or if a Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity and/or technical and professional capacity of other entities, documentation regarding such other entities must also be provided. Where a Tenderer is covered by one of the exclusion grounds as stated under the section "Participation" and further in the Procurement Specifications, the DEA will allow the Tenderer to demonstrate its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 4 of the executive order no. 1080 on award of concession contracts. Reference is further made to the Procurement Specifications, section 6 and section 12. Regarding international sanctions: Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2022/576 which applies for the procurement procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the exact delimitation of the actors covered by the prohibition). The DEA may at any time during the procurement procedure require that the Tenderers prove that they are not covered by the prohibition, for example by requiring documentation regarding the Tenderers’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and ownership. Annex D, Declaration regarding sanctions against Russia, may be used. Regarding prerequisities for award of the Concession Agreement: The Tenderer shall, as part of the tender, submit a notification/declaration concerning any financial contributions received from third countries, see Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. Whether a notification or a declaration must be included in the tender depends on the threshold in art. 28, para. 1, point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560. The obligation is further elaborated in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1441 of 10 July 2023, particularly in art. 5. The Tenderer shall submit the notification/declaration concerning any financial contributions received from third countries by using the form FS-PP in Annex II of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1441. The Tenderer is encouraged to engage in prenotification discussions with the European Commission Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs in sufficient time prior to the notification, see for more information Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1441, Annex II, the Introduction, part 6, on ‘Pre-notification contacts and waiver requests’. Regarding prerequisities for conclusion of the Concession Agreement: According to the Investment Screening Act, statutory order no 1256 of 27 October 2023, economic actors, i) domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) who are under the control of or subject to significant influence as defined in the law from a domiciled business or citizen from a country outside the EU or EFTA, apply for and obtain authorization to conclude the concession contract(s), if the Tenderer’s conclusion of the Concession Agreement is subject to the Act. The Tenderer is adviced to clarify whether their conclusion of the concession contract(s) is subject to the authorization requirement under the Danish Investment Screening Act.

Additional information : Regarding tender submission deadline: Please note that due to a system error, the deadline for submission of tender is displayed in a different time zone. The deadline for submission of tender is 1 April 2025 at 14:00 (local Danish time). Regarding tender validity: The Tenderer must keep its tender open for acceptance for eight (8) months from expiry of the tender submission deadline. If the DEA considers it appropriate due to delays resulting from the procedures pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies or the Danish Investment Screening Act, the DEA may invite all Tenderers to accept an extension of the period in which they must keep their tenders open for acceptance. All Tenderers will in this situation be free to decide whether to accept the extension of the tender validity period as proposed by the DEA. Where a Tenderer does not accept an extension of the tender validity period, the tender of such Tenderer will expire at the end of the initial tender validity period of eight (8) month from the tender submission deadline and such Tenderer will no longer be considered for the award of the Concession Agreement. If Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 on foreign subsidies does not prevent the award of the Concession Agreement at such time, the DEA may at any time choose to award the Concession Agreement to the Tenderer who has submitted the tender with the highest bid price, subject to this Tenderer obtaining the necessary authorisation pursuant to the Danish Investment Screening Act if relevant. In this case the Tenderer, to whom the DEA awards the Concession Agreement, must keep its tender open for acceptance until conclusion of the Concession Agreement. Regarding the estimated value of the concession: The estimated value of the concession is 54,000,000,000.00 DKK covering the required establishment of an offshore wind farm with a production capacity of electricity of 1 GW. In addition thereto, the estimated value of the production capacity of electricity, which the Concessionaire may establish in addition to 1 GW, called Overplanting Capacity, is estimated at 8,500,000,000.00 DKK, based on a potential for establishment of additional 0,2 GW Overplanting Capacity. The method of calculation of the estimated value of the concession is further described in the Procurement Specifications, section 1. Regarding the mandatory exclusion grounds: Furthermore, a Tenderer must include in the tender an ESPD, as described further in the Procurement Specifications, section 7, as preliminary proof of the conditions specified in section 148 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no. 1080 of 29 June 2022 on award of concession contracts. Upon request, the Tenderer to whom the DEA intends to award the Concession Agreement, or all Tenderers must submit documentation regarding the information stated in the ESPD, cf. section 151(1) or 151(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. Furthermore, if the Tenderer relies on the capacity of other entities and/or if the Tenderer consists of a group of economic operators a separate ESPD, must be submitted for each of the participating entities and the ESPD shall each contain the relevant information. If the Tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities and/or if the Tenderer consists of a group of economic entities, the documentation regarding the information stated in the ESPD must be submitted for each participating entity. The documentation regarding this exclusion ground can consist of the following: • An extract from the relevant register, such as judicial records or, failing that, of an equivalent document issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority in the Member State or country of origin or the country where the economic operator is established showing that the economic operator is not covered by the exclusion grounds listed in section 135 (1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 4 of the of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. and • A certificate issued by the competent authority in the Member State or country concerned, showing that the economic operator is not covered by the exclusion grounds listed in section 135 (3) and section 137 (1), no. 2, cf. section 4 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. Where the Member State or country in question does not issue such documents or certificates, or where these do not cover all the exclusion ground, they may be replaced by a declaration on oath. In Member States or countries where there is no provision for declarations on oath, a solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the Member State or country of origin or in the Member State or country where the economic operator is established, may be used. It is accentuated that the documentation must also include documentation regarding the exclusion ground in section 135 (2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 4 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. The DEA will generally accept the documentation, which is listed in e-Certis for the relevant country, cf. section 152 (3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. Reference is further made to the descriptions in the Procurement Specifications. For groups of entities, and/or if a Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity and/or technical and professional capacity of other entities, documentation regarding such other entities must also be provided. Where a Tenderer is covered by one of the exclusion grounds as stated under the section "Participation" and further in the Procurement Specifications, the DEA will allow the Tenderer to demonstrate its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 4 of the executive order no. 1080 on award of concession contracts. Reference is further made to the Procurement Specifications, section 6 and section 12. Regarding international sanctions: Attention is drawn to Article 5k in Regulation (EU) No 833/2014 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2022/576 which applies for the procurement procedure. The provision contains a prohibition against award of contracts to Russian companies and Russian controlled companies etc. (reference is made to Article 5k, section 1, for the exact delimitation of the actors covered by the prohibition). The DEA may at any time during the procurement procedure require that the Tenderers prove that they are not covered by the prohibition, for example by requiring documentation regarding the Tenderers’ and any subcontractors’ place of establishment and ownership. Annex D, Declaration regarding sanctions against Russia, may be used. Regarding prerequisities for award of the Concession Agreement: The Tenderer shall, as part of the tender, submit a notification/declaration concerning any financial contributions received from third countries, see Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. Whether a notification or a declaration must be included in the tender depends on the threshold in art. 28, para. 1, point (b), of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560. The obligation is further elaborated in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1441 of 10 July 2023, particularly in art. 5. The Tenderer shall submit the notification/declaration concerning any financial contributions received from third countries by using the form FS-PP in Annex II of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1441. The Tenderer is encouraged to engage in prenotification discussions with the European Commission Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs in sufficient time prior to the notification, see for more information Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1441, Annex II, the Introduction, part 6, on ‘Pre-notification contacts and waiver requests’. Regarding prerequisities for conclusion of the Concession Agreement: According to the Investment Screening Act, statutory order no 1256 of 27 October 2023, economic actors, i) domiciled outside the EU or EFTA, or ii) who are under the control of or subject to significant influence as defined in the law from a domiciled business or citizen from a country outside the EU or EFTA, apply for and obtain authorization to conclude the concession contract(s), if the Tenderer’s conclusion of the Concession Agreement is subject to the Act. The Tenderer is adviced to clarify whether their conclusion of the concession contract(s) is subject to the authorization requirement under the Danish Investment Screening Act.

5.1.9 Selection criteria

Criterion :
Type : Economic and financial standing
Name : Annual overall turnover (in IFRS: “revenue”)
Description : The Tenderer must fulfil the following minimum requirements on eligibility in order to demonstrate the ability to perform the Concession Agreement: - The Tenderer must demonstrate an annual overall turnover (in IFRS: “revenue”) of minimum DKK 32 billion calculated as an average of the latest three (3) financial years available. I.e. the turnover of the last three (3) financial years available are added together and the total figure is divided by three (3). If the Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, the average overall annual turnover will be calculated based on the total combined turnover of the Tenderer and such other entities in each of the three (3) latest financial years available. For groups of economic operators, the average overall annual turnover will be calculated based on the total combined turnover of the economic operators in each of the three (3) latest financial years available. References is made to section 6 of the Procurement Specification with examples of this calculation. Information about the minimum requirement must be specified in section IV, subsection B of the ESPD. Upon request, the Tenderer to whom the DEA intends to award the Concession Agreement, or all Tenderers must submit documentation regarding the information stated in the ESPD, cf. section 151(1) or 151(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. The DEA will accept the following documentation regarding the minimum requirements on economic and financial capacity: The Tenderer must submit annual reports or an extract thereof, or a statement of the Tenderer’s overall annual turnover for the last three (3) financial years available, depending on when the Tenderer was established, if the key figures are available. For group of economic operators, the information must be submitted for each participating economic operator in the group. Where a Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, documentation for such other entities must be provided as well. Reference is further made to the Procurement Specifications, section 6 and 12.
Use of this criterion : Used
Criterion :
Type : Economic and financial standing
Name : Equity ratio OR a current long-term debt rating
Description : The Tenderer must fulfil the following minimum requirements on eligibility in order to demonstrate the ability to perform the Concession Agreement: - The Tenderer must have an equity ratio (total equity /total assets x 100) of 20% or above in the most recent financial year available OR a current long-term debt rating of BBB- or above (Standard & Poors and Fitch) and/or Baa3 or above (Moody’s) or an equivalent current rating from another reputable international credit rating agency at the time of submission of tender. Please note that in terms of meeting the abovementioned minimum requirements, the requirement regarding equity ratio and the requirement regarding long-term debt rating are equal alternatives to each other, i.e. one is not preferred to the other. If the Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities or is a group of entities, the Tenderer can choose to fulfil this minimum requirement (2) by either equity ratio or long-term debt rating or by a combination of equity ratio and long-term debt rating. If the Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, the equity ratio will be calculated as the Tenderer's and such other entities’ total equity divided by their total assets, calculated as a percentage. For groups of economic operators, the equity ratio will be calculated as the total equity of the operators divided by their total assets, calculated as a percentage. If the Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, or is a group of economic operators, and chooses to use the long-term debt rating to meet the financial minimum requirements, then each economic operator must meet the requirement for long-term debt rating individually or meet the minimum requirement regarding equity for those entities that may not meet the long-term debt rating. References is made to section 6 of the Procurement Specification with examples. Information regarding the minimum requirement must be specified in section IV, subsection B of the ESPD. Upon request, the Tenderer to whom the DEA intends to award the Concession Agreement, or all Tenderers, must submit documentation regarding the information stated in the ESPD, cf. section 151(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act, cf. section 5 of the executive order no 1080 on award of concession contracts. The DEA will accept the following documentation regarding the minimum requirements on economic and financial capacity: Regarding the equity ratio, the Tenderer must submit a balance sheet or an extract thereof for the most recent financial year available, if publication of the balance sheet is required by law in the country where the Tenderer is established, or other documentation. OR Regarding the long-term debt rating, the Tenderer must submit documentation from the relevant credit rating agency. Regarding key figures etc. mentioned in section 6.2.1, which cannot be documented by annual reports or a balance sheet, a statement from the company’ s (state authorized) accountant must be submitted. For group of economic operators, the information must be submitted for each participating economic operator in the group. Where a Tenderer relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities, documentation for such other entities must be provided as well. Reference is further made to the Procurement Specifications, section 6 and 12.

Legal form that must be taken by a group of tenderers that is awarded a contract : The award of the Concession Agreement entails an obligation for the Successful Tenderer or the shareholders of the Successful Tenderer (as the case may be) to enter into a co-ownership with State Holding. The co-ownership is regulated by Annex G (Irrevocable Undertaking). It is further required that the Concessionaire take the form of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) as required below. If the Successful Tenderer is not the SPV the following shall apply: The award of the Concession Agreement entails an obligation for the Successful Tenderer to establish or provide a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), as further described below. The Successful Tenderer is further-more obliged, after State Holding has concluded a due diligence review, to sell and transfer the number of shares in the SPV (on a fully diluted basis and in each share class, if any) which equals to 20% of the share capital of the SPV to State Holding (the Investment), as further regulated in Annex G (Irrevocable Undertaking). If the Successful Tenderer is the SPV the following shall apply: All shareholders of the SPV (Successful Tenderer) is obliged, after State Holding has concluded a due diligence review, to sell and transfer the number of shares in the SPV (on a fully diluted basis and in each share class, if any) which equals to 20% of the share capital of the SPV to State Holding (the Investment), as further regulated in Annex G (Irrevocable Undertaking).

Requirements regarding the establishment of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV): If the SPV is established before submission of tender and the SPV is defined Tenderer in the procurement process the terms a and e, shall apply. If the SPV acts as Tenderer in the procurement process any Supporting Economic Operator’s and Supporting Technical Operator’s support shall be put at the SPV’s disposal as Tenderer. Therefore, term b-d does not apply in this situation. If the SPV is not established before submission of tender the following shall apply: Before signing of the Concession Agreement, the Successful Tenderer shall establish or provide an entity which is fully owned and Controlled by the Successful Tenderer and which shall enter into the Concession Agreement as the sole Concessionaire responsible for the construction and operation of the offshore wind farm on the following terms a-e. a) The SPV shall be established as a public limited liability company (in Danish: “aktieselskab” or “A/S”) or a partner company (in Danish: “partnerselskab” or “P/S”) in accordance with the Danish Company Act. b) The Successful Tenderer shall put at the SPV’s disposal its technical and professional re-sources and shall ensure that the technical and professional resources of its Subcontractors and Technical Operator(s) are also put at the disposal of the SPV and thereby ensure that the SPV will have, as a minimum, the same technical and professional capacity as the Successful Tenderer has at its disposal; c) The Successful Tenderer shall assume joint and several liability with the SPV for the performance of the Concession Agreement, and shall ensure that any entity on which the Successful Tenderer relied with respect to economic and financial capacity assumes joint and several liability with the SPV for the performance of the Agreement on the same terms as set out in the Annex F (Concession Agreement), Sub-Clause 15.1.3; d) The Economic Operator and Technical Operator, if any, shall remain supportive of the SPV on unchanged conditions in accordance with the requirements set out in the Annex F (Concession Agreement). e) Fulfilment of the terms in items (a)-(d) above require the DEA’s prior written confirmation that the DEA is satisfied that the terms in items (a)-(d) above are met. The Successful Tenderer shall be obliged to provide any documentation that the DEA may reasonably require to verify that the terms are met. The DEA’s confirmation shall be provided without undue delay if the DEA is satisfied that the requirements in items (a)-(d) are met. Reference is made to the Project Specifications and the procurement material as a whole for further descriptions, including the definitions of the terms used in the description above.
Financial arrangement : It is required, that the Concessionaire, at the latest on the signing of the Concession Agreement, shall obtain and deliver to the contracting authority 1) a duly executed, valid and binding Performance Guarantee from an Acceptable Financial Institution and 2) a duly executed, valid and binding Parent Company Guarantee from an Eligible Parent Company. If the offshore wind farm is not connected to the grid or if no Grid Connection Agreement is entered into between the Concessionaire and Energinet within five (5) months from signing the Concession Agreement, the Concessionaire shall obtain and deliver a duly executed, valid and binding On Demand Guarantee, from an Acceptable Financial Institution. Reference is further made to Clause 16 of Annex F (Concession Agreement).
