What backs it

Denmark's wind power hit 140% of national electricity demand at 3 a.m. last Friday, generating enough clean energy to meet all domestic demand and export the surplus. The country is now planning two new offshore 'energy islands' in the North and Baltic seas designed to manage 6–13 gigawatts of wind capacity and supply green hydrogen production.

Worth noting

The 140% milestone occurred during low-demand hours (3 a.m.) with unusually high wind speeds; the energy islands are in planning stages, not yet under construction.
