Over the last twenty years, Denmark has seen a significant reduction in natural gas production, declining from 30% in 2005 to 13% in 2022. In parallel, the utilization of natural gas for electricity generation has dropped from 24% to 3%, and its contribution to the Total Energy Supply (TES) has decreased from 23% to 9%.
In 2022, Denmark produced 35 Terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, with renewable sources representing about 83.3% of total electricity generation. Wind energy led this segment, accounting for 54%, while bioenergy and waste contributed 23%, and solar energy added 6.3%. The rest of the electricity generation came from non-renewable sources: coal ...
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] Including energy use in the heating/cooling and transport sectors, Denmark is expected to reach 100% renewable energy in 2050, up from the 34% recorded in 2021.
This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2023 and are sourced from Ember unless otherwise specified. [1] Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
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.
The 12 MW Húsahagi wind farm in 2019. Wind power was introduced in 1993, producing as little as 423 MWh at first, but rising to 90 GWh by 2022. [4] In 2014, the DKK 180 million 12 MW Húsahagi wind farm with Enercon 900 kW turbines [17] became operational near Torshavn and increased wind capacity from 6.6 to 18.6MW; this decreased oil consumption by 8,000 ton (approximately 4M€) per year.
This is a list of countries by electric energy consumption. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023.
