- The island can be built in the North Sea to feed six European countries including Britain and the Germany
- Plans were developed by a series of energy companies and are set to be confirmed on 23 March
- If plans go ahead, it would house a small staff and serve a vast Bankof solar panels and wind turbines
- It would include buildings for staff housing, an airport, a small network of roads, and an artificial lake
An artificial island is great with the airfield and port itself can be built in the North Sea to the power in Europe by 2050, if the plan is approved this month.
The island of 2.5 square miles (6.5 square kilometers) could serve as a power plant "crazy and fiction-like", which will be surrounded by fields of offshore wind turbines.
"The North Sea wind turbine Hub" will accommodate a small team of permanent staff and generate electricity for more than 80 million people throughout Europe.
An artificial island (artist's impression pictured) with an airstrip and harbour could be built in the North Sea to help power Europe by 2050. Energinet, the Danish state-owned energy operator, said it hoped that the offshore power plant would be completed by 2050
The island would serve an extensive network of solar panels and wind turbines Dogger Bank, a large sandbank covering 62 miles (100km)to off the coast of England.
It would provide energy from six European countries through submarine cables - UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Norway and Belgium.
Dogger Bank is relatively deep with depths of 15 and 36 meters, which should reduce the cost of the project.
The Copenhagen post said that the island, if approved, would cost a little over £1.1 billion ($ 1.3 billion).
Energinet, the Danish operator belonging to the energy State, expressed the hope that the central sea would be completed by 2050.
Plans were drawn by a series of energy companies from Denmark, the Netherlands and the Germany, including Energinet.
Discussions with other energy and industrial partners, who together will pay for the project, are underway.
They are expected to be agreed in Brussels on 23 March.
Torben Glar Nielsen, technical director of Energinet, told the Independent: "maybe it sounds a bit crazy and science fiction-like but an island on the Dogger Bank could make wind energy of the future, much cheaper and more effective.
Dutch TenneT announced Wednesday that Energyinet was the first partner for its plan to create the nucleus of power network manager offshore energy.

The 'North Sea Wind Power Hub' would serve a vast network of solar panels and wind turbines spanning across Dogger Bank, a large sandbank 62 miles (100km) off the east coast of England

TenneT says the large European power network based on the principle of 'hub and spoke' and are intended to help the EU meet its targetsof reducing emissions of carbon dioxide.
TenneT will officially sign the agreement of Energinet March 23.
"Discussions with other potential partners is underway, which includes not only the Manager of transmission network of the North Sea, but also other infrastructure businesses," TenneT said in a statement.
Energinet.dk CEO Peder Ostermark Andreasen, said that the project has the potential to cause the new lower prices "network connection and interconnection."
Separately Wednesday, TenneT said would invest 21 billion pounds($ 26 billion) in new capacity of transmission over the next decade tosupport a certain number of renewable wind energy projects onshore and offshore currently in preparation.
The company also wants to increase interconnection between the Netherlands and the Germany.
The number represents an increase of £7 billion ($ 11 billion) by March 2016, forecast, after the Government of the Netherlands has announced plans for the fall last for a great acceleration in the financing of renewable energy projects.
TenneT will provide new agricultural infrastructure.
"If we want to use the Green electric power in the Northwest of Europe we fully, we couldn't do it without the power of the new link, bothon land (onshore) or at sea (offshore, ' CEO Mel Kroon said in a statement.)"
"Sustainable energy Europe clutch market will lead to greater convergence of electricity prices in various European countries and will make electricity more affordable for end users, he said.
Underlying TenneT to operating profit 2016 701 million euros on revenues of 3.23 billion euros ($ 3.41 billion), slightly lower compared to the year 2015, due to lower repayments for services.
