Denmark's Energy Islands Could Solve Europe's Power Problem $34BN <br />this is the biggest construction project in the history of denmark.<br /> instead of a new city district's airport or high-speed rail line .<br />the danes are investing a whopping 34 billion us dollars into a new kind of energy hub one .<br />located on an artificial island way out in the north sea it's the world's first energy island.<br /> and if it all goes to plan it could help solve one of europe's biggest problems<br /> what you're looking at is an energy island think of it as an offshore power plant.<br />that gathers renewable electricity from hundreds of nearby wind turbines before distributing.<br /> it to several nations via undersea cables although the exact location is yet to be decided denmark's pilot project .<br />will be based about 80 kilometers west of thor's mint on the country's utelin peninsula.<br /> with a total area of at least 120 000 square meters that's almost 100 olympic sized swimming pools.<br /> the island will be capable of providing 3 million european homes with green energy <br />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.<br /> 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.<br />#construction#architecture#energy <br />Denmark's $34BN Energy Islands Could Solve Europe's Power Problem<br />Denmark's $34BN Energy Islands Could Solve Europe's Power Problem<br />Denmark's $34 Billion Green Energy Island<br />Denmark’s Plans for a $2.4BN Island off Copenhagen
