In 2009, Danish domestic electricity supply fell by 3.9% compared
with 2008. This fall was greatest west of the Great Belt (ie, on
Funen and in Jutland), where domestic electricity supply fell by
4.8% compared with 2008, whereas in eastern Denmark it fell by
2.4%. Domestic electricity supply is a good indicator of
electricity consumption before including net losses.

More detailed information:
The Danish Energy Agency publishes monthly information about
electricity supply on its website. The source of these statistics
is Energinet.dk, which provides information about electricity
supply in eastern and western Denmark. The monthly electricity
supply statistics contain the following information:
- Electricity production by place of production
- Imports and exports of electricity by country
- Domestic electricity supply (electricity consumption and net
losses)
The
associated webpage contains information for the period January
2000 to December 2009, for western and eastern Denmark and for the
country as a whole.
