Denmark's bold $34BN Project to Solve Europe's Energy Crisis
- 8 months ago
Denmark's Energy Islands Could Solve Europe's Power Problem $34BN
this is the biggest construction project in the history of denmark.
instead of a new city district's airport or high-speed rail line .
the danes are investing a whopping 34 billion us dollars into a new kind of energy hub one .
located on an artificial island way out in the north sea it's the world's first energy island.
and if it all goes to plan it could help solve one of europe's biggest problems
what you're looking at is an energy island think of it as an offshore power plant.
that gathers renewable electricity from hundreds of nearby wind turbines before distributing.
it to several nations via undersea cables although the exact location is yet to be decided denmark's pilot project .
will be based about 80 kilometers west of thor's mint on the country's utelin peninsula.
with a total area of at least 120 000 square meters that's almost 100 olympic sized swimming pools.
the island will be capable of providing 3 million european homes with green energy
and that's just in the first phase all this wind power funneling into the site will give it a capacity of around three gigawatts.
but this could potentially rise to over 10 gigawatts enough for 10 million households over on the other side of the country in the baltic sea.
