Vestas growing power

The Vestas 15 MW off-shore wind plant is a remarkable offering. https://news.cision.com/vestas-wind-systems-a-s/r/vestas-launches-the-v236-15-0-mw-to-set-new-industry-benchmark-and-take-next-step-towards-leadership,c3283489

The 15 MW is claimed to produce 80 GWh/a. That implies a 60% average capacity factor. Better than many thermal plants. No fuel cost.

Suddenly numbers change: Instead of a typical nuclear reactor, 1 000 MW producing 8 TWh/a, one need to build only 100 wind power plants at sea.

More important. Wind power produces most electricity during winter months in northern Europe: https://www.dhirubhai.net/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6765332845922705408/

Vestas, increasing their power, will support the Danish initiative to build energy islands in the North Sea and the Baltic. To be done in effective public-private co-operation. https://investindk.com/insights/the-wind-blows-for-green-transition-in-denmark?utm_source=Linkedin&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=cleantech_energyisland_insight_2021 .

As Danish power increases over the seas in northern Europe, you may admire their industrial strategy: Government supporting infrastructure development. Rely on domestic industry building what can sustainably use zero cost energy resources to supply the electricity they need in the future.

Finland, with their nuclear expansion program, faces a challenger.

Swedish politicians disagree on what they prefer.
