Our long-term price forecast points to a doubling of Danish power consumption, from 40 to 80 TWh annually, between 2025 and 2035.
The primary driver is expected to be green hydrogen production for export, facilitated by the planned 133 km pipeline from Esbjerg (DK1) to the German border. The pipeline has a capacity of 3 GW and is targeted to be operational by 2030.
Beyond hydrogen, consumption growth is also driven by the electrification of transport, including both rail and road vehicles, the expansion of district heating systems, and a rapidly growing data centre sector.
The additional power demand is expected to be met by new wind and solar capacity, building on Denmark’s already strong renewable foundation.
