Huge EU ability grid could potential 70 million home

At that point they’re still at the planning stages, but that proposed transnational potential grid, designed by Greenpeace, is pretty ambitious.

The basic notion: connect 10,000 wind turbines from by 100 different wind farms in seven countries scattered around the North Sea. That’s a lot of wind farms, countries and distances to figure out, but whether successful, that shared renewable energy could potential 70 million European homes.

The notion of using a massive grid to share wind-generated energy could take care of that pesky problems with wind-power - it’s not

always windy. By having a grid to share capability, a windy day in Scotland can off-set a still day in Germany. There would plus be supplements of energy from Scandinavian hydro ability.

The plans have been called “ambitious but realistic” by senior official types and I’m guessing these big projects are going to get more popular as the EU tries to meet their 20-20-20 plan (cut 20% of greenhouse gases, get 20% of primary energy from renewables, and knock 20% off of energy use - all by 2020).
