据离岸工程网站2月4日消息 丹麦已就在北海建造首个风能中心达成协议，该中心有望生产出数量尚未见的绿色电力，这被称为丹麦历史上最大的建设项目。
这座能源中心是一座人工岛，将作为一座近海发电厂，从岛上数百台风力涡轮机中收集和分配绿色电力，直接输送给北海周边国家的消费者。
预计该岛总面积至少为12万平方米，在第一阶段，它将能够为300万欧洲家庭提供绿色能源，该项目将是丹麦国家和私营公司之间的公私合作伙伴关系。
丹麦能源署周四称：“能源中心将是一个人工建造的岛屿，距离日德兰半岛海岸80公里，它将由公私合营企业所有。该中心将加强欧洲电网的整合，并增加欧洲气候中性所需的可再生能源发电量。”
该机构在一份声明中称，政府将拥有该岛的大部分土地，但私营公司对该项目发挥创新、灵活性、成本效益和商业潜力至关重要。
根据丹麦能源部的说法，该人工岛将为扩大项目提供最佳机会，例如通过建造一个港口和设施来储存和转换附近海上风力涡轮机的绿色电力。长期的目标是能够在岛上储存绿色电力，将其转化为液体绿色燃料，并通过海底电缆将其输送到丹麦和周边国家。
据路透社报道，这座人工岛及其周围的风力涡轮机的初始容量将为3吉瓦，耗资约2100亿丹麦克朗（338.7亿美元），大约在2033年投入使用。

Denmark to Build Giant Wind Energy Hub In the North Sea
Denmark has reached a deal on the construction of the first of its kind wind energy hub in the North Sea that promises to produce yet unseen amounts of green electricity, in what has been described as the largest construction project in Danish history.
The energy hub - an artificial island - will serve as an offshore power plant gathering and distributing green electricity from hundreds of wind turbines surrounding the island directly to consumers in countries surrounding the North Sea.
The island is expected to have a total area of at least 120.000 square meters and in its first phase, it will be able to provide 3 million European households with green energy. The project will be a public-private partnership between the Danish state and private companies.
"The energy hub will be an artificially constructed island 80 kilometers from the shore of the peninsula Jutland. It will be owned by a public-private partnership. The hub will strengthen the integration of Europe’s power grids and increase renewable electricity production necessary for a climate-neutral Europe," Danish Energy Agency said Thursday.
The State will own the majority of the island, but private companies will be crucial for the project to fulfill the potential as regards to innovation, flexibility, cost-effectiveness and business potentials, the agency said in a statement.
Per DEA, the artificial island will offer the best opportunities to expand the project, for example by building a harbor and facilities for storage and conversion of green electricity from the nearby wind turbines in the sea. It is the long-term ambition to be able to store green electricity on the island, convert it to liquid green fuel, and send it via subsea cables to Denmark and neighboring countries.
According to Reuters, the artificial island and its surrounding wind turbines will have an initial capacity of 3 gigawatts, cost around 210 billion Danish crowns ($33.87 billion), and be operational around 2033.
