The tallest and most powerful wind turbine in the world is to be erected at a national testing centre for the green energy source at Østerild in Thy, northwestern Jutland.
The prototype windmill, developed by Danish engineering company Vestas, will stand at a towering 280 metres.
That makes it taller than the pylons of the Great Belt Bridge (254 metres) and a little shorter than the Eiffel Tower (324 metres).
Energy production from the imposing Vestas structure will be 80-gigawatt hours per year, according to a statement released by the company on Friday.
The wind turbine is expected to be constructed in 2022.
Its height will constitute a world record, Peter Hjuler Jensen of DTU Wind Energy told DR Midt & Vest.
