Energy Island in the Danish North Sea
Energy and data
Denmark will become home to the world's first energy island.
Denmark will become home to the world's first energy islands. One of the projects will be located 80 km from the coast in the Danish North Sea and will function as a platform to collect large amounts of green energy from 10 GW offshore wind production.
Investments in North Sea energy infrastructure
For the development of the energy island, installation of 10 GW offshore wind, and associated grid infrastructure, an investment of approximately 260 billion kroner (35 billion euros) has been allocated. The 10 GW offshore wind in the area around the island will ensure that Denmark can become completely self-sufficient with energy from offshore wind.
The Energy Island

The island will be developed as a 50/50 consortium between the state and a private partner, who will be responsible for building and servicing the island.
Esbjerg knows the North Sea
Esbjerg's strategic location and well-developed infrastructure make the city a natural center for activities in the North Sea. From the harbor, components for oil and gas installations are transported, while both safety and service vessels for offshore wind have Esbjerg as their base.
Esbjerg Airport serves as an offshore helicopter port and ensures efficient transport of personnel to installation areas. With a strong supply chain and many years of experience in safety and service, Esbjerg is a reliable partner for oil, gas, and offshore wind projects.
Esbjerg has the know-how
We believe that Esbjerg's expertise will play a central role in commissioning and operation of the energy island as well as installation and maintenance of 10 GW offshore wind.
