Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK December 29, 2017 Advanced plans by Dutch power grid aims to build power hub possibly at Dogger Bank whose scale would dwarf current offshore sites. Britain’s homes could be lit and powered by windfarms surrounding an artificial island deep out in the North Sea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP December 29, 2017 Well they think that this project could save money, estimating that it could be billions euros cheaper than conventional windfarms. Of course, if they succeed in making it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV December 29, 2017 Not sure about that. This project would probably need a lot of expensive cabling to get power back to land. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnAtronis + 78 JA December 29, 2017 not bad idea at all. However, once we have island territorial waters and EEZs come into play, and could this prime fishing ground still be fished? I cant see anyone talking about that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen + 67 SM December 29, 2017 I am not sure the plans are as advanced as media is reporting https://www.tennet.eu/news/detail/gasunie-to-join-north-sea-wind-power-hub-consortium/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meanwhile + 49 PT December 29, 2017 Sounds a plausible idea. A variety of electricity generating methods are needed but each one has an environmental impact. Mind the birds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
