Over 50% of Denmark’s power comes mainly from wind, onshore and offshore, and solar. These renewable-energy sources are weather dependent and provide fluctuating energy supply. The ability of the grid to uptake such a high share of variable renewable energy has been achieved by increasing the flexibility of existing power plants, expanding cross-border interconnections and trade, investing in heat pumps as well as heat storage to serve as a source of flexibility, improving wind generation forecasting, and making consumer demand more flexible. Demand response will be further developed, including the implementation of long-term storage solutions and renewable-hydrogen production, to reach a fully renewable-based electricity system by 2030. Policy continuity, innovations and stakeholders’ dialogue have been key to this success.
