Denmark’s annual power demand could treble to 127 TWh by 2035, fuelled by a surge of electrolysers using wind and solar power to create hydrogen and other green fuels, said the nation’s energy agency in a new study.
It estimated demand from electrolysers to jump from virtually zero today to 15.8 TWh by 2030 and 59.2 TWh by 2035.
Data centres, heat pumps and the transport sector would also contribute to Denmark’s growing demand for electricity, the Danish Energy Agency said in its annual report.
However, the latest annual figures – used as reference for TSO Energinet’s investment in the energy sector – have been revised slightly down from a year ago when the agency estimated Denmark’s annual electricity demand to reach 79.9 TWh in 2030 and 128.6 TWh in 2035.
Nevertheless, to meet its growing power demand, Denmark aimed to boost its renewable energy supply.
The agency estimated offshore wind capacity to jump from 2.3 GW now to 22.2 GW in 2035, while onshore wind capacity would grow from 4.9 GW to 7.4 GW. Solar capacity would rise from 3.9 GW to 27.4 GW over the same period.
It did not provide any estimate for annual power production in 2035.
Denmark aims to phase out fossil fuels in power generation to cut emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by the end of this decade.
