Watch the world's first artificial energy island being built
#PrincessElisabethIsland will be an electricity grid at #sea connecting #offshorewind to #Belgian mainland and also serve as a hub for future interconnectors with #UK and #Denmark. Belgian #electricity transmission system operator #Elia is project’s developer. Princess Elisabeth Island is part #PrincessElisabet Zone, a future 3.5GW offshore #windfarm in the #NorthSea, around 45 km (28mi) off the Belgian coast

#PrincessElisabethIsland will combine direct & alternating currents to bundle together the #WindFarm export cables of the Princess Elisabeth zone. It will also #facilitate the #exchange of #electricity with #GreatBritain & #Denmark & other wind farms in the #NorthSea . As a result, the island will provide #Belgium with large volumes of #RenewableEnergy & make the country #LessDependent on #FossilFuels
