UK joins nine European nations to build 100GW North Sea wind power grid

theguardian.com

Ten European countries, including the UK, will build a 100GW offshore wind power grid in the North Sea. This aims to transform the region into a clean energy hub. The interconnected grid will link wind farms across multiple nations via subsea cables, providing enough electricity for 143 million homes. The agreement is set to be formalized in the "Hamburg declaration." This initiative reaffirms Europe's commitment to renewable energy, following previous targets for offshore wind development in the North Sea. It also comes amid criticism of wind power from some international figures.
