Massive grid planned in the North Sea is moving wind power deployment in wrong direction
EUROSOLAR president Hermann Scheer on proposed €30bn electricity grid to run under the North Sea:
The plan to build a network of high voltage direct current cables undersea stretching across the North Sea set to supply electricity from offshore wind parks and reservoirs in Norway may look fascinating at first sight. But at second glance it is misleading when taking everything into account. The apparent intent is to channel further wind power deployment primarily into offshore wind and thus into the power companies‘ hands. This would stand in the way of the desirable development into decentralised electricity generation in the hands of many – utilities and private operators. Generating electricity from decentralised sources is more appealing in terms of the overall economy and less expensive in terms of economics, which is also true for wind power.
