WHO BUILT IT : DEME , JAN DE NUL LOCATION : DENMARK

Energy Island is two large-scale offshore wind farms planned by the government of Denmark , and slated for completion by 2030 . These man-made patches of land are expected to generate enough wind power for the country ’ s entire grid , plus that of other parts of Europe .

The purpose-built site is the largest construction project in Denmark ’ s history , and will increase the country ’ s total offshore wind energy capacity four-fold , and up to seven-fold when all phases are completed .

“ This is gigantic and the next big step for the Danish wind turbine industry ,” said Professor Jacob Ostergaard of the Technical University of Denmark .
