Energy islands, large-scale energy hubs with interconnections to surrounding countries, provide an innovative solution to this challenge. In this episode, hosts Ben Backwell and Stewart Mullin speak with Hanne Storm Edlefsen, Area manager in Energinet Electrical System Responsibility at Energinet, about the challenges and opportunities for this technology around the world.
