Power and grid in Denmark

Rationed

New grid connections are rationed (nationwide, transmission). Checked 23 Oct 2026. Every country’s grid connections.

Over a year, country level

Grid carbon, latest full-year average: 100g CO₂/kWh; 7th cleanest of 30 countries; 94% renewable or nuclear
Business electricity price, latest full year: 176€/MWh; 18th cheapest of 26; wholesale is 53% of it
Wholesale power, 2025 average: 83€/MWh; 8th cheapest of 30

Climate at Copenhagen

Hours a year above 27 °C dry-bulb: 30h; mean of 2016 to 2025
Hours a year above 32 °C dry-bulb: 0h; worst year 0 h
Hours a year above 20 °C wet-bulb: 40h; limit for evaporative cooling

Hourly reanalysis at the city’s grid cell, 2016 to 2025.

Annual averages are national, for the latest full year.

Fibre latency from Copenhagen

Round trips from Copenhagen
To	Round trip, minimum	Path length	Path
Berlin	3.9 ms	396 km	Mapped fibre route
Oslo	4.9 ms	501 km	Mapped fibre route
Stockholm	5.6 ms	573 km	Mapped fibre route
Amsterdam	6.8 ms	690 km	Mapped fibre route
Frankfurt	7.1 ms	721 km	Mapped fibre route
London	11 ms	1,099 km	Mapped fibre route
Paris	11 ms	1,137 km	Mapped fibre route
Dublin	14 ms	1,471 km	Mapped fibre route

Floors for light in fibre, city centre to city centre; operator fibre adds to this.

Decisions from 1 Jan 2025; statuses checked 21 Oct 2026. A market with none recorded is not a low risk market.

Projects of 1 MW or more, announced to under construction, not yet fully operating; a metro includes its region. Capacities are never added, and no project is listed. Grid: new-connection status from the grid connection tracker. Over a year: national averages, latest full year. Latency: light in fibre over the mapped land route, else the straight line.
