The world's first artificial energy-producing island

 A project to supply electricity to 3 million families in Denmark has been approved, which will be built on a large artificial island.



The world's first 'energy island' of its kind will be the equivalent of 18 football fields, but it is hoped that its size could be tripled. 200 giant wind turbines will be installed on the island. It is the largest project in Denmark's history and is estimated to cost 34 34 billion.


The island, which will be built at a distance of 80 km from the coast in the sea, will be half owned by the government and half will be owned by private companies. This unique power generation project will not only meet Denmark's electricity needs, but also sell electricity to neighboring countries.

Jacob Ostergaard, a professor at Denmark's Technical University, said a list of countries had not yet been compiled, but that Britain could be among the countries benefiting from the project, as well as the Netherlands and Germany.


Under Denmark's Climate Act, it was promised in 1990 that carbon emissions would be reduced by 70% by 2030 and the country would be completely free of carbon emissions by 2050. Last December, it was announced that Denmark was suspending all exploration of oil and gas in the North Atlantic. The country's energy minister, Dan Hargenshin, says his country is changing the world map.


"It's a big project," said Professor Oster Gard. This is a major step forward in the Danish wind turbine industry. We were at the forefront of installing wind turbines on land. Then we installed beach and wind turbines and now we are going to build an energy island. Therefore, it will be at the forefront of Denmark's power generation industry.


Green Group Dask Energy, an NGO working on the environment, said: "This dream is going to be a sham, but it is doubtful that the project will start by 2033. Leaders of all political parties in Denmark have supported the plan. Former Energy Minister Ramos Helog Petersen said the idea of ​​creating an energy island was revolutionary and there was now a broad consensus that it should be made a reality.


There are plans to build a small energy island east of Denmark in the Baltic Sea near Borholm. Agreements are being made to supply electricity from the island to Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.


Last November, the European Union announced that the production of electricity from ocean winds would be increased 25-fold by 2050 and set a target of five-fold increase by 2030. At present, one-third of the EU's energy needs are met by alternative energy sources.


The location of the energy island is currently kept secret by Denmark, but it is common knowledge that it will be built in the North Atlantic Ocean, 80 kilometers off the coast of Denmark
