About electricity prices in Denmark

Denmark gets a larger share of its electricity from wind than almost any other country, complemented by biomass-fired combined heat and power plants, solar and strong interconnections with Norway, Sweden and Germany. The retail market is fully liberalised, and nearly all homes have smart meters settled hourly, so contracts that follow the hourly spot price are common.

Bills are issued in Danish kroner and are dominated by taxes, VAT and network tariffs rather than by the raw energy price, so the supplier's share of the bill is comparatively small. District heating serves most urban homes, while heat pumps are the usual choice elsewhere. The Danish Utility Regulator oversees the sector, and network operators increasingly apply time-differentiated tariffs that make evening consumption cost more than night-time use.
