North Sea Wind Power Hub

By TenneT, Energinet, Gasunie & Port of Rotterdam (North Sea)

North Sea Wind Power Hub is an international consortium, run by TenneT (Germany), Energinet (Danemark), Gasunie (Netherlands) and Port of Rotterdam (Netherlands), which goal is to build wind power hubs in the North Sea from 2030-2050.

The idea is to build one or more hubs in the central North Sea, with interconnections to the bordering countries. Such artificial islands will be situated at a location where there are frequent high wind speeds and will be connected to a large number of offshore wind farms. The electricity will then be distributed to The Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Norway, Germany and Denmark via current connections.

Furthermore, the surplus can be converted to hydrogen for large scale transport or storage, thanks to Gasunie expertise in power-to-gas technology based on electrolysis.

Today, the project is in the research phase, and recent results have shown its feasibility.

Technical aspects

  • The idea is to gradually develop 10 to 15 GW hubs before a large offshore wind build-out.
  • A first hub will likely be electrically connected to the coast and with additional power-to-gas to provide energy system flexibility and could be operational in the 2030s.
  • The implementation of 180 GW offshore wind can be achieved by 2045.
  • After 2030, once large, far-offshore wind regions have been defined for development, it will be possible to develop several hubs that will act as central platforms for supporting the infrastructure required to transport the energy, e.g. for converting electricity into gas (in particular green hydrogen) instead of using the offshore converter platforms commonly used at the moment.
  • The relevant wind power capacities range from 70 to 150 GW by 2040 and up to 180 GW by 2045.

Contribution to energy transition

The project could lay the foundation for supplying hundreds of millions of Europeans with green energy.

The project aims to meet Paris Agreement climate goals and those of the countries around the North Sea. Close collaboration between countries is essential since such a system cannot be realized by individual EU members states on their own.

Overall, it will help pave the way for hydrogen economy.
