The world’s longest electricity cable connection, Viking Link, began pushing electrons from Denmark directly to the UK last week. The DKK 13 billion ($1.92 billion) investment has been almost 4 years in the making and is the first physical connection between the two otherwise completely separate energy systems. Viking Link … [continued]
It’s getting windy in the small country of Denmark. Or rather, massive amounts of electricity from wind will come from the shallow waters around the country and hit the shores for the country to use, and to sell to the rest of Europe. The Danish government has agreed on a … [continued]

Over the past 40 years, Denmark has integrated 7 GW of wind and PV solar capacity into the electric grid. The fresh numbers from 2022 show that the country’s electricity needs are now covered by 60% renewables. In just 8 years from now, that figure will quadruple. That is a … [continued]
I have been watching Danish solar photovoltaic capacity and output closely since 2015, because I had a feeling something was looming after seeing the explosion of installed capacity in Germany in years prior.
A new project is looking into the potential of exchanging solar data between the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) and the grid operator Energinet (ENDK), with the purpose of better predicting power loads and thus planning ahead in the intermittent nature of a nation wide grid made up from evermore renewable energy sources.
Three European transmission system operators have signed a trilateral agreement this week that intends to develop a large renewable European electricity system in the North Sea, the North Sea Wind Power Hub, which could supply as many as 70 to 100 million Europeans with renewable energy by 2050.
