Mega Windfarm And New Island On Dogger Bank?
Yachting Monthly
|Summer 2017
A wind farm up to 150 times bigger than the world’s current largest wind farm, including an artificial island complete with airstrip and harbour, could be built on Dogger Bank, according to new plans.
A German, Dutch and Danish consortium has proposed the concept, which could produce enough electricity for up to 100 million people.
In comparison to the 175-turbine London Array, currently the world’s largest offshore wind farm (100km 2 or 39 square miles), which produces 0.63GW of electricity, the new wind farm could initially produce 30GW of power, and could be extended to produce 150GW. The first ‘Power Links Island’ could be complete in under 20 years by 2035, with the wind farm operating at full capacity by 2050, according to developer TenneT TSO.
A consortium including TenneT TSO and Energinet signed an agreement in March for the development of a large renewable electricity generating system in the North Sea.
