Thyborøn, Denmark
Success Story

What's Possible When Communities Lead

In a small coastal town of 2,800 people, neighbours came together with a bold idea: build one of Europe's largest community-owned wind turbines.

The energy they generate supports Thyborøn and the rest goes to the grid. The profits? They are shared with the people who live there. This is what happens when a community decides to own its energy future.
