A new organization that represents the majority of Danish electricity production and works for green transition through electrification has seen the light of day.
Thus, the interest organizations Dansk Energi, Wind Denmark and Dansk Solkraft, after discussions that started in November last year, have agreed to join forces in a unified organization called Green Power Denmark.
- We are establishing Green Power Denmark now, when the need for green transition is more acute than ever. It is clear to everyone today that there is a need for accelerated electrification of Danish society, in order to power all parts of society with green electricity and ensure Denmark's and the EU's energy independence. The new green business organization is taking the lead in this important work together with its members, says Jesper Hjulmand, newly elected chairman of Green Power Denmark, in a press release.
While Dansk Energi and Wind Denmark have been part of the energy sector in Denmark for decades, Dansk Solkraft was established in 2021. After the merger, Green Power Denmark has approximately 1,500 members, as well as 800 associate members and 200 associate members.
- With Green Power Denmark, all members and players in the Danish energy sector will hopefully be stronger and better equipped to overcome the challenges posed by the green transition and better equipped to take the opportunities it offers, says Mads-Ole Astrupgaard, who has been chairman of Wind Denmark for seven years and is also joining Green Power Denmark's board.
Green Power Denmark currently has two offices in Copenhagen and offices in Aarhus and Brussels. In total, there are approx. 125 full-time employees.
Who will be the director of the new organization has not yet been announced, but according to the organization, the person has been found and will be announced within the next few days. It is clear, however, that it will not be Dansk Energi's director for 15 years, Lars Aagaard. Dansk Energi has therefore announced that he will step down as director.
