In our last post of our blog series about energy storage in Europe we focused on Italy. Now we move back north, to Denmark. Unsurprisingly, Denmark is known as a pioneer of wind energy. Relying almost excl.
Green Power Denmark shows current electricity prices as well as solar and wind's share of Danish energy production. The figures originate from Energinet's Energy Data Portal. At Drivkraft Danmark, you can find both current prices and the historic price trend from 1970 onwards for e.g. petrol, diesel fuel for motor vehicles and oil.
On the Danish Energy Agency's website, you can find statistics and key figures on the subject of energy, e.g. energy prices.
Where can I find information about charging stations in Denmark?
The Ministry of Transport often publishes information and news about charging stations L adeinfrastruktur og opladelige biler (in Danish). How many wind turbines do we have in Denmark? The Danish Energy Agency's register (in Danish) contains information on the location, size and production of all Danish wind power plants.
Can a hydrogen-based energy storage system be used in Denmark?
Bulk physical storage of renewable energy produced gases can act as a longer-term storage solution (hours, days, weeks, months) to help maintain flexibility in a fossil-free energy grid (The Danish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells). Without the hydrogen scenario, the potential for hydrogen-based energy storage in Denmark will be limited.
There are currently three EES facilities operating in Denmark, all of which are electro-chemical (batteries). A fourth EES facility – the HyBalance project – is currently under construction and will convert electricity produced by wind turbines to hydrogen through PEM electrolysis (proton exchange membrane).
The Danish Energy Agency's register (in Danish) contains information on the location, size and production of all Danish wind power plants. The register goes back to 1977. [This page was last updated in December 2024]
