Denmark has the world''s best energy system
For decades, Denmark has aimed to create the world''s best energy system. Our high level of energy security is due to the extensive undergrounding of low and medium voltage power lines, which makes the Danish power grid robust for example during storms.

Global Cooperation
In Denmark, we are experiencing a remarkable transformation of our energy system from black to green. We started more than 45 years ago – due to the oil crisis. From depending entirely on imported fossil fuels, we now have a world
Energy Transitions Podcast: Denmark''s energy islands – a new
Denmark''s energy islands are at the forefront of innovation, combining scientific advancement and real-world application. These hubs will operate as green power plants at sea and are expected to play a major role in the phasing-out of fossil fuel energy sources and allowing countries around the Baltic and North Seas to maximise the vast offshore wind potential in the

Renewable Energy Jobs in Denmark: Our Locations
But today, we''re focusing our efforts on a bigger vision: creating a world that runs entirely on green energy. In 1991, we made Denmark the home of the world''s first-ever offshore wind farm, and today, we''ve transitioned almost entirely away from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
Energy innovation in Denmark and Boston
A lot of the energy consumed in cities comes from commercial and residential buildings. Heating those buildings is a big part of that. In Boston, some of the largest buildings in town will be heated using a surprising source of renewable energy that''s already taking hold in Denmark. Craig LeMoult reports from GBH in Boston.
Wind power in Denmark
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. Furthermore, Denmark has — as of 2022 — the 2nd highest amount in the world of
Energy Mix
Globally, our progress in shifting towards a low-carbon economy has been slow. That may leave us pessimistic about a path forward. But some countries – often some of the world''s richest countries who have high carbon footprints – show us that significant progress on decarbonizing our energy systems is possible. They still have a long way to go but are moving in the right
Denmark generates a larger share of its electricity
Data from the Energy Institute shows that wind power accounts for over a quarter of Denmark''s total primary energy consumption — the largest figure globally. Denmark also ranks first in per capita wind power generation,

Renewable energy in Denmark
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] Including energy use in the heating/cooling and transport sectors, Denmark is expected to reach 100%
