Powering the future with wind energy
Wind energy is a cornerstone of the green transition – and Denmark’s decades-long experience shows what’s possible when ambitious climate targets meet innovation and collaboration. Today, more than half of Denmark’s electricity is powered by wind, and the country continues to demonstrate how renewable energy can be integrated into a reliable and resilient power system.
A comprehensive value chain supports this development – spanning everything from research and development to manufacturing, installation, operation and export. Combined with a highly flexible grid and a stable regulatory framework, Denmark offers valuable insights for other countries scaling up wind energy.
At the same time, Danish companies and public institutions continue to set new standards for sustainability, circularity and efficiency in the wind sector – from advanced test centres to reused rotor blades and digitalised operations. The result is a globally competitive industry that drives climate action, job creation and international cooperation.
This new edition of our white paper, Wind Energy – Powering the Future, presents Denmark’s integrated approach to wind energy through key data, insights and real-world cases. It explores how Denmark is electrifying its energy system, scaling up offshore wind and delivering on ambitious climate targets in harmony with people and nature.
