A broad majority agrees on the Energy Island in Bornholm.

A broad majority in the Folketing has entered into a political agreement to ensure that plans for the Bornholm Energy Island become a reality.

The Bornholm Energy Island will supply green electricity to both Denmark and Germany.

According to the ministry, it will be the first project in the world where an energy island functions as a central hub, both collecting and distributing large amounts of wind power from the sea to multiple countries. This is stated by the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Supply.

"With the Bornholm Energy Island, we take a historic step toward a more secure and competitive Europe at a time of geopolitical challenges," says climate, energy, and supply minister Lars Aagaard in a press release.

The agreement means that Bornholm will be directly connected to the energy island, and residents of Bornholm will receive green electricity without additional charges. At the same time, 330 million Danish kroner will be allocated to the connection and to strengthening the energy security for both Denmark and Germany.

**Ready by 2034**

In addition to the government, the Danish People’s Party, SF, The Conservatives, The Red-Green Alliance, The Radicals, and Alternativet are part of the agreement.

The energy island is expected to be operational by 2034.

Denmark and Germany reached an agreement on the Bornholm Energy Island last week.

According to the agreement, Germany will contribute 70 percent of the support for offshore wind, while Denmark will cover the remaining 30 percent.

Denmark’s contribution is expected to be around 42 billion Danish kroner over the next 30 years, which is why Liberal Alliance announced they could not support the agreement.
