North Sea nations to boost wind power for energy independence

Aiming to make Europe more resilient in an uncertain world, the group of countries pledged to boost off-shore wind power in the North Sea and turn it into the "world's largest clean energy reservoir". "By building the North Seas as a power hub for Europe, we can enhance Europe's energy resilience," he said, adding that it would also provide affordable energy to consumers, support the offshore energy industry and help Europe achieve climate neutrality. Frederiksen said "it was a huge mistake to be dependent on Russian fossil fuels" in the past and added: "Now we have to make sure that we will have no dependencies on other countries outside Europe, not only on energy, on everything."
