Denmark plans to explore setting up of wind energy hubs in India

Denmark, close on the heels of its decision to construct an artificial island in the North Sea and use it as a clean energy hub, is exploring wind energy hubs along Indian coasts. The proposal is expected to get a push at a high-level meet in near future and a Special Purpose Vehicle for the same can also be considered.

When built, the Danish island will supply both clean power to homes and green hydrogen for use in shipping, aviation, industry and heavy transport. The planned island, which will be located 80 kilometres off Denmark’s west coast, will initially be 120,000 square meters in size, bigger than 18 standard football fields.
