In November 2024, NVE delivered part 1 of the strategic impact assessment for Vestavind B to the Ministry of Energy. The assessment covered the entire Vestavind B area with a view to possible opening and tender in 2025, found significant conflicts with petroleum activities, shipping and aviation and medium environmental impacts on coral habitats, cod, seabirds and migrating birds, and recommended that any opening of areas in Vestavind B be postponed until the area has been compared with other Vestavind zones, with a potential opening process in the second half of 2025 only if later regional assessments show Vestavind B to be the best-suited area and coexistence issues are addressed.
