Denmark's power mix over a full year
Denmark gets a larger share of its electricity from wind than any other EU country: 58% in 2024. Bioenergy from combined heat and power plants gave 21%, solar 11%, and coal and gas together 7%. Sweden and Norway rely on hydro, Finland on nuclear, and Germany still on a fair amount of coal and gas.

Questions about the electricity price
- When is electricity cheapest today?
- In Zealand and the islands (DK2) the spot price is lowest at 23–00 with 0.57 kr/kWh, and the three cheapest hours in a row are 21–00.
- When do tomorrow's electricity prices come out?
- The exchange publishes the next day's prices around 13:00 Danish time. The page shows them by itself as soon as they are out.
- What is the difference between DK1 and DK2?
- Denmark has two price areas: DK1 is Jutland and Funen, DK2 is Zealand, Lolland-Falster and Bornholm. The prices are often the same, but they can part when the links to the neighbours are full.
- How much of Denmark's electricity comes from wind?
- 58% of generation came from wind turbines in 2024 (Eurostat). Right now wind and solar cover 58% of generation in East Denmark.
- Why can the electricity price go negative?
- When wind and solar produce more than is used and can be exported, the spot price falls, sometimes below zero. Tariffs and taxes still have to be paid.
- What does a kWh cost with taxes and VAT?
- With the spot price at 1.26 kr/kWh right now, it comes to 1.73 kr/kWh with Energinet's tariffs, electricity tax and VAT (2026 rates) – before your network company's tariff and the supplier's mark-up, which depend on where you live and your contract.
