Renewable energy in Denmark - statistics & facts
Denmark is a world leader in the development and utilization of renewable energy sources. Concerns about global warming and energy security have placed renewable energy high on Denmark's political agenda. In 2022, the country reached a total renewable energy capacity of 11.7 gigawatts, with wind power accounting for the majority of the installed capacity. Denmark's flat topology and proximity to the sea result in excellent wind resources for harvesting energy, and the country is committed to further develop this energy technology. In total, Denmark produced 68.5 petajoules of wind power in 2022. Overall, Denmark has set some of the most ambitious renewable energy targets among countries in the European Union, aiming for a 100 percent renewable electricity mix by 2030.
