Denmark generates the world's highest share of wind power per capita: in 2024 wind provided 56% of electricity, supplemented by biomass (~16%) and rapidly-growing solar (~9%). Energinet, the state-owned TSO, splits the country into two bidding zones — DK1 (Jutland and Funen, synchronously connected to the German grid) and DK2 (Zealand and Bornholm, connected to the Nordic grid). The 1.4 GW Viking Link to the UK opened in 2024, joining existing HVDC links to Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands; Denmark is now Europe's most-connected grid relative to its size.

Coal generation is set to end fully by 2028 with the Esbjerg-3 closure. Day-ahead clearing happens on Nord Pool.

The Energy Islands project — two artificial offshore hubs in the North Sea — is targeted for commercial operation in the early 2030s and would add 10 GW of offshore wind feeding multiple countries simultaneously.

FAQ — Denmark

How is the electricity price determined?
Day-ahead prices in Denmark are auctioned each morning around 13:00 CEST on Nord Pool / EPEX. The cheapest mix of generation that meets demand wins; that price applies for the next 24 hours.
When is electricity cheapest?
Today's average wholesale price in Denmark is 0.970 kr /kWh. Cheapest hours typically fall between 00:00–04:00 CEST and around midday on sunny / windy days.
Why is my electricity bill higher than the spot price?
The wholesale spot price you see here is one component. Your retail bill in Denmark also adds electricity tax, grid fees, VAT and a supplier markup — total roughly 30–60 % above wholesale.
How accurate is this data?
Source: ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, the EU regulator's data feed. Updated every 10–20 minutes.
Are tomorrow's prices already known?
Tomorrow's day-ahead prices for Denmark appear on this page automatically once Nord Pool / EPEX closes the auction around 13:00 CEST each day.
