The Vejroe Project - a green Danish adventure

On a small Danish island, green energy solutions of the future are being developed. The transition is ambitious but necessary, both for the island's overall sustainability and for the future success of a green Denmark.

In addition to the energy project, which includes two wind turbines from Viking Wind, a resort has been built with a hotel, conference rooms, greenhouses, and an orangery to produce organic food. 16-20 people are employed full-time to take care of the resort's guests.

The explicit goal of 100% self-sustainable renewable energy in Vejroe was driven as much by necessity as by curiosity. Today, the island is not connected to the mainland by cables or regular transportation. The previous diesel-based energy supply, which relied on transporting thousands of litres of diesel to power the generators, highlights the challenge and urgency of change. The annual energy bill exceeded 1 million Danish kroner, underscoring the high costs and the need for a sustainable solution.

The project is also driven by the desire to explore, test, and learn how an island can become self-sufficient with green energy most effectively and economically. You can read more about the project here
