In the second half of 2025, household electricity prices in Denmark averaged 33.12 euro cents per kilowatt-hour for consumption between 2,500 and 5,000 kWh, and 35.78 euro cents for 1,000 to 2,500 kWh. Despite remaining high, prices have declined since their peak in 2023.

Electricity prices in Europe

Electricity consumers in the capital city of Denmark, Copenhagen, paid one of the highest value added taxes on electricity in Europe as of May 2026, amounting to 20 percent of the residential end-user price. However, the final residential electricity price in the Nordic country was considerably lower than in other European countries, such as Italy and Germany, where prices surpassed 0.4 U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour in September 2025.

Electricity sources in Denmark

During the 2022 energy crisis, the growth in electricity prices in European countries was correlated with their dependence on fossil fuel imports. The dominance of wind power and bioenergy in Denmark's electricity production made the country less vulnerable to the instability of the global power market.
