An artificial island-power unit with a capacity of 10 GW in the North Sea

The Danish government has approved the construction of the first man-made energy island in the North Sea. According to Bloomberg, the project costs 210 billion Danish kroner ($ 34 billion) and involves the construction of a platform with hundreds of wind turbines, which are planned to help the country achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

The initially installed capacity will be 3 GW with a tendency to increase to 10 GW.

The project is expected to be implemented by 2033 and will help Denmark achieve its goals of developing a low-carbon economy. The Ministry of Energy adds that this energy hub in the North Sea will be able to provide energy not only to Denmark but to the whole of Europe.

It is planned that an artificial island of 120,000 square meters will be built 80 km west of the Danish coast.
