The Princess Elisabeth Island is set to be positioned approximately 45 kilometers off the Belgian coastline, playing a pivotal role in connecting the offshore wind farms situated in the second offshore wind zone with the onshore high-voltage grid.
The Princess Elisabeth Island is slated to be positioned roughly 45 kilometers off the Belgian shoreline, acting as a crucial bridge between the offshore wind farms within the second offshore wind zone, boasting a maximum capacity of 3.5 GW, and the adjacent onshore high-voltage grid. This energy island will serve as the inaugural cornerstone of a European offshore electricity network, serving as a central nexus for forthcoming interconnections with the United Kingdom and Denmark. This groundbreaking development underscores Belgium’s pioneering role in offshore energy, solidifying its position on the global energy map.
