North Sea Nations Vow to Boost Wind Power for Energy Independence
Northern European nations aim to power 100 million homes with offshore wind to reduce reliance on Russian energy and enhance regional security, officials said.
- A Hamburg summit saw German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and northern European leaders pledge to add 100 gigawatts of offshore wind in the North Sea, enough to power 100 million homes.
- Facing pressure from Russian aggression and security worries, Germany and other EU members aim to grow their own energy and become free of gas amid Greenland and Arctic concerns.
- Proponents argue the move is climate-friendly and security-enhancing, with Miliband insisting offshore wind is for winners and critical for energy security after Trump last week branded wind farms losers.
- After the Hamburg signing, officials signalled that the 100 GW offshore wind pledge is a 'very clear signal to Russia,' linked to reducing reliance on foreign gas amid Greenland tensions.
- Think tank E3G's Simon Skillings said lessons from hybrid attacks on infrastructure inform the push to harden dispersed energy infrastructure, making supply more resilient against multiple strikes.
