Hvad er en energiø?
What is an energy island?
En energiø indsamler energi fra omkringliggende havvindmøller og sender den ind til land gennem kabelforbindelser. Etableringen af energiøen i Nordsøen gør det muligt at placere havvindmøllerne længere fra kysten, hvor vindforholdene er bedre, hvilket øger møllernes energiproduktion. Energiøen skal have forbindelser til nabolande rundt om Nordsøen, så det bliver muligt at eksportere vedvarende energi i stor skala.
An energy island collects the energy from surrounding offshore wind turbines and transmits it onshore through cable connections. The construction of the energy island in the North Sea makes it possible to place offshore wind turbines further from shore where wind conditions are better, thus increasing their wind power generation. The energy island will have links to neighbouring countries in the North Sea. This will make it possible to export renewable energy on a large scale.
