Renewable energy in Denmark

Renewable energy sources collectively produced 81% of Denmark''s electricity generation in 2022, [5] and are expected to provide 100% of national electric power production from 2030. [6] Including energy use in the heating/cooling and transport sectors, Denmark is expected to reach 100% renewable energy in 2050, up from the 34% recorded in 2021.
