An Island to Light Up Copenhagen

Green Power Island.jpgThink big and you'll generate power for a whole country. Starting from its capital, like Copenhagen.

This "little" green jewel designed by Gottlieb Paludan encompasses a sustainable energy combination (wind power, solar power and pumped hydro power), which could become Copenhagen's alternative energy centre.
 When the wind speeds decrease, seawater is pumped in the inner island lagoon, turning turbines that generate power.

Green Power Island is also bound to become the biggest solar plant in Scandinavia. Four sister projects have been proposed for Bahrain, India, China and Florida.
