The caissons will form the outer walls of the energy island. The island itself will be created using approximately 2.3 million square metres of sand, extracted locally. The island will be finished in late 2026, when the electrical equipment can start to be installed. Contracts for this will be tendered this year.
Denmark will construct one of the world's first energy islands, utilizing its abundant wind energy resources in the North and Baltic Seas. These energy islands will form a crucial part of a hub-and-spoke grid, facilitating smart electricity distribution between regions across the two seas.
In the long term, the energy island and offshore wind farms in the North Sea will have their capacity expanded to allow the generation and distribution of 10 GW of electricity. The island in the North Sea and the surrounding offshore wind farms will be established approximately 100 km off the coast of Thorsminde, a town in Jutland.
The concept of energy islands covers the definition of an existing island, the construction of an artificial island, or an island based on a platform serving as a hub for electricity generation from surrounding offshore wind farms, that will be connected and distribute power between Denmark and neighboring countries.
