Europe Plans Offshore Wind Supergrid. By Robert P. Walzer, NYTimes, December 8, 2009. "Nine European countries [announced on December 9 plans] to create a 'supergrid' in the North Sea to encourage the growth of offshore wind power... The countries signing the 'North Seas Countries' Offshore Grid Initiative' include Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Sweden, Britain and Ireland. According to Mr. Ryan's statement, the supergrid would mean that 'Irish wind farms will be able to connect directly to Europe, not only securing our energy supply but allowing us to sell the electricity produced on a wider market.' Hans Erik Kristofferson, who heads the Danish national grid, Energinet, said in a telephone interview that the project would allow existing and future offshore wind parks to connect seamlessly across national boundaries."
