OEH: Offshore Energy Hubs

The decision to build the world's first two offshore energy islands (or hubs) is a cornerstone in reaching Denmark's climate targets and a beginning of a new era for green Danish technology export. With an estimated value of DKK 210bn, the offshore energy islands will create significant business opportunities for Danish stakeholders. In the Offshore Energy Hubs (OEH) project we develop technical solutions for:
a) tools and control solutions for stable and resilient hub operation,
b) cost-efficient design of wind power plants (WPPs) and
c) hub-optimized offshore Power-to-X (PtX).

The value creation of the OEH solutions is both direct and indirect. The developed solutions will reduce capital costs by DKK 20bn just for the first 10 GW islands, and, most importantly, will enable a future-proof expansion of the energy islands. This opens up immense global market opportunities for the technologies developed by the top Danish industry, who are partners to this project. Therefore, the technical solutions developed in the OEH project contribute to ensuring the profitability of the OEH, while also ensuring the stability of the hub and the connected power systems.

The OEH's execution ensures timely contributions to the partners' strategy and roadmaps. OEH will deliver a framework for Bornholm as a large-scale development and demonstration center for offshore energy island technology, supporting Danish industry in maintaining its first-mover position.
