What is an energy island?
Denmark has decided to develop and build two energy islands: one on Bornholm in the Baltic Sea and one to be established as an artificial island in the North Sea.
The islands will pool power from offshore wind turbines. The power must either be passed on to Danish consumers, sold to our European neighbours, or used to produce fossil-free, liquid fuels.
The energy islands will be the world’s first example of a fully decarbonized energy system, where power generation is based solely on renewable energy. This will be a completely new type of energy system that does not exist anywhere else in the world on such a large scale.
