Designed to generate enough energy to supply more than 600,000 households, the project is planned to be built in the waters between Denmark's Møn region, Southern Sweden and Northern Germany.
The firm has won the tender by submitting a lowest bid of €49.9/MWh, the Danish Energy Agency said.
Vattenfall Wind head Gunnar Groebler said: “Vattenfall has won the three latest offshore wind tenders in Denmark; Horns Rev 3, Danish Near Shore and Kriegers Flak, equivalent to the energy consumption of 55% of the Danish households.
“Our winning bid for Kriegers Flak is 58% below the original cap of EUR 0.12. For the Danish Near Shore project the bid was also substantially below its cap.
“Proceeding with these two projects, Vattenfall provides Denmark with a cost efficient contribution to meet the country’s climate targets and customers’ demand for renewable energy.”
Claimed to be the world's first international offshore power grid, the common grid solution is designed to enable electricity trade using cables between Denmark, Sweden, and Germany.
The grid project involves construction of three offshore wind farms each owned by the respective countries and connected to the common grid.
Upon commissioning in 2020, the wind farm will serve as a Supergrid to supply renewable energy to all the three countries through the power grids.
