Inspiring story in Denmark

Since 2010, a community-run wind farm has operated with great success in Hvide Sande, a fishing community on the western coast of Denmark.The project is community owned and operated, with around 400 shareholders living in Hvide Sande and the surrounding area.

The energy generated has exceeded expectations: since January 2012, the three wind turbines have even been supplying as much power as offshore wind farms. The expected return will be invested in the modernisation and development of the harbour, which is of great importance to the region.
