BORNHOLM: THE ENERGY ISLAND
In November 2019, Ørsted presented its vision to use the Danish island of Bornholm, situated in the Baltic Sea, as an energy hub by making it the centre point of a proposed new interconnection between Denmark and Poland, in reality making Bornholm the world’s first energy island. The long-term vision includes some 3-5GW of offshore wind capacity off the coast of the Island and has the prospects of linking the Swedish and German power grids to the hub as well.
