Denmark is about to build the very first artificial island dedicated to the collection and distribution of renewable electricity throughout northeastern Europe. The Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Public Utilities has announced that this project alone could eventually cover the consumption of 10 million European households.

The island will in fact be a gigantic energy centre, located in the North Sea, 80km from the shore of the Jutland peninsula. Its ambitious goal will be to ensure the production of renewable electricity for an entire part of Europe. Danish Climate Minister Dan Jørgensen called it nothing less than the largest construction project in Danish history.
