Oct 26, 2025 - How Belgium`s $8 Billion Energy Island Will Power Europe

Out in the North Sea, Belgium is constructing the world`s first artificial energy island a groundbreaking $8 billion project designed to transform how Europe generates and shares renewable power. Known as Princess Elizabeth Energy Island, this offshore hub will collect electricity from massive wind farms, store it, and transmit clean energy across borders through advanced HVDC cables.
It`s an ambitious feat of engineering built to strengthen Europe`s energy independence and accelerate the shift toward a net-zero future. But with soaring costs, technical hurdles, and unpredictable seas, can Belgium’s vision truly power a continent?
