The green power from the offshore wind turbines in the North Sea is coming to shore at Esbjerg. This means Esbjerg is an energy hotspot for business, where green power is necessary. An increase in the offshore wind development in the North Sea will provide even more green energy to Esbjerg in the future from the two transformer stations at Endrup and Revsing, which are receiving the harvested energy from the turbines in the North Sea.
