Nature Inclusive Design for an artificial energy island – from ideation to implementation

The Princess Elisabeth Island (PEI), located in the Belgian part of the North Sea, is set to become the world’s first artificial energy island and a key node in Europe’s offshore electricity grid. Designed as an electricity hub, PEI will connect offshore wind farms to the onshore grid and serve as a landing point for international interconnectors, reinforcing grid stability and enabling cross-border energy exchange.
