Offshore wind energy

Danish experiences can contribute to the green transition in Japan by utilising the country’s large wind resources. A strengthened cooperation between Denmark and Japan also includes large commercial opportunities for the Danish wind industry that can deliver the green solutions requested by the Japanese.

The Danish emissions from electricity production are now only a seventh of what they were in 1990. With cheaper offshore wind, the trend of lowering emissions is continuing.

By 2030, the world will have its first two energy islands designed to produce 4 GW power – initially. One of them will be an artificial island in the North Sea named VindØ (“Wind Island”), which will be able to produce 10 GW power long-term. The finance for the island VindØ will come from the […]

2019 was a good year for offshore wind, as 3.6 GW of new offshore wind capacity was installed across Europe. In Denmark, offshore wind capacity increased by 28 per cent.

An international Ocean Renewable Energy Action Coalition that includes Danish actors such as Ørsted and MHI Vestas has been formed to advance sustainable deployment of ocean-based renewable energy and mitigate the harmful impacts of climate change.

In the Danish region of Lolland, consumers and producers of electricity will soon be paid for turning the power up or down. The new experiment will solve the problem that local electricity grids have with the amount of renewable energy and can be a game changer for the rest of Europe, too.
