Man-made island to be built off coast of Britain to POWER Europe PLANS have been drawn up to create a man-made island off the UK coast capable of powering parts of Europe with renewable energy. Hosting a network of wind turbines and solar panels, it will act as a energy hub serving six countries - Britain, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway and Belgium. Proposed by a consortium of energy companies from The Netherlands, Denmark and Germany, the £1.1 billion project is expected to be rubber-stamped by Brussels on March 23 after already being backed by EU chiefs. The 25 square mile island would house a small workforce and feature roads, workshops, trees, and an artificial lake with a beach.
