Viable locations arent in short supply at all:

- sofixa 4y agoThey aren't in short supply, but aren't present everywhere - e.g. in Europe there's nothing north of Slovakia. If Denmark wants storage, they have to work with other countries and rely on transit. It's even worse for the Baltics.
- raphaelj 4y agoWell, that also applies if Denmark wants uranium, oil or gas.
- arethuza 4y agoNorway, UK and Ireland aren't in Europe? Edit: I was a bit puzzled as there are already pumped-storage plants in Wales and Scotland with more planned.
- Krasnol 4y agoYou make it sound like it's some burden while the EU grid is actually a single market with a significant expansion last year: https://www.tennet.eu/our-grid/international-connections/nordlink/ https://www.tennet.eu/our-grid/international-connections/nor...
