There is no risk to Denmark’s ambitious plans to for artificial energy islands off its coast linked to offshore wind farms, Jørgen Christensen, director of technology at industry group Green Power Denmark told Recharge after massive ruptures at two major gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea this week.
The ruptures that may have been caused by under-water explosions near the Danish island of Bornholm at the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines triggered wider concerns about the security of critical infrastructure, and prompted NATO to say the defence alliance will “prepare for, deter and defend against the coercive use of energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors.”
