Denmark is a net importer of electricity. The flow of electricity between Denmark and the countries it has interconnectors with (Norway, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands and the UK), and the direction of that flow, is highly variable and depends on current demand and current Danish wind power output.
Wind provided 57% of the electricity generated in Denmark in 2019, [38] and at least 47% of Denmark's total electricity consumption in 2019. [38] Denmark is a long-time leader in wind energy, and as of May 2011 [update] Denmark derives 3.1 percent of its Gross Domestic Product from renewable energy technology and energy efficiency, or around ...
Denmark is a leading country in renewable energy production and usage. Renewable energy sources collectively produced 81% of Denmark's electricity generation in 2022, [5] and are expected to provide 100% of national electric power production from 2030. [6]
Wind power provided 18.9% of electricity production and 24.1% of generation capacity in Denmark in 2008, [2] Denmark was a pioneer in developing commercial wind power during the 1970s, and today almost half of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers such as Vestas and Siemens Wind Power along with many component suppliers.
Middelgrunden offshore wind park, 3.5 km outside Copenhagen.When built in 2000, it was the world's largest. [1]Denmark was a pioneer in developing commercial wind power during the 1970s, and today a substantial share of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers such as Vestas—the world's largest wind-turbine manufacturer—along with many component suppliers.
Denmark produced 58% of its electricity from wind in 2023, a larger share than any other country. Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022. [3] In November 2018, wind power generation in Scotland was higher than the country's electricity consumption during the month. [5]
Renewable electricity generation by source and country in 2023 [1] This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources. [1] Renewables accounted for 30% of electric generation in 2023. Renewables consist of hydro (47%), wind (26%), solar (18%), biomass (8%) and geothermal (1%).
