Five percent more electricity was produced from solar cells and wind turbines last year than the year before. This set a record for green electricity, Energinet writes on its website.
Electricity production from renewable energy increased by more than 1,200 gigawatt hours compared to 2023 and now stands at 24,339 GWh. According to Energinet, this corresponds to the annual electricity consumption of 300,000 households.
According to Energinet, the increase in green electricity is due to the connection of the Vesterhav Nord and Syd wind farms and the continued connection of new solar cells, primarily in urban municipalities.
However, measured in relation to consumption, the share of green electricity has not changed. Overall, production from solar and wind has covered 63 percent of Danish electricity consumption in 2024 - the same percentage as in 2023. Because at the same time that the production of green electricity has increased, the Danes' electricity consumption has also increased from 2023 to 2024.
