4 FAQs about Hybrid energy for denmark s offshore solar telecom integrated cabinets

Could a dual-purpose hYbrid interconnector connect Danish Energy Island to Germany?

Energinet (DK) and Amprion (DE) signed an MoU in April 2023 to investigate the potential for a dual-purpose offshore hybrid interconnector that would link the Danish Energy Island to a German offshore grid connection.

What are offshore hybrid energy systems?

There is significant interest in offshore hybrid systems as we target our offshore wind deployment goals, Floating Offshore Wind ShotTM, and offshore hydrogen/fuel production. Offshore hybrid energy systems can maximize the use of offshore infrastructure, and minimize the risk of transmission build out.

How many energy islands will Denmark build in 2021?

To provide the needed energy for implementation of such measures, the Danish government mandated the construction of the world's two first Energy Islands (or Offshore Energy Hubs) in 2021, one on the island of Bornholm (2 GW) and one in the North Sea (3 GW with later expansion to 10 GW)

Is Danish offshore wind directly connected to the German grid?

This project submission to the TYNDP - where Danish offshore wind is directly connected to the German grid - has received political support from both governments and underlines our common interest to identify and explore the potential for further innovative and cost-effective cooperation projects.
