4 FAQs about Denmark island microgrids

Why is Bornholm island a microgrid lab?

Bornholm Island acts as a microgrid lab to further Denmark's ambitious target to produce 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2050. Denmark has an ambitious target to produce 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2050.

Will Denmark build a new energy island?

Denmark will construct one of the world's first energy islands, utilizing its abundant wind energy resources in the North and Baltic Seas. These energy islands will form a crucial part of a hub-and-spoke grid, facilitating smart electricity distribution between regions across the two seas.

Where is the Ecogrid EU project based?

With its high abundance of renewable energy, Bornholm Island, just south of Sweden, was the perfect test site for the European Union's EcoGrid EU project. This set out to demonstrate the use of demand response to integrate renewable energy into the grid system.

How will Denmark's two energy islands contribute to the green transition?

The two energy islands will produce more green energy (wind power) than Denmark need. This means that Denmark will end up with a surplus of electricity, which can exported to our neighbouring countries, contributing to the green transition beyond Denmark's borders.
