The Green Energy Taskforce (GET) is established under the Energy Governance Partnership (EGP) with the aim of strengthening government-to-government cooperation on regulation, energy policy, and the implementation of the green transition in selected countries.
GET focuses on showcasing Danish green solutions and strengths, particularly where Danish public-sector experience can contribute to robust framework conditions, effective regulation, and improved alignment between policy, market design, and implementation.
Currently, Spain and Australia are the selected focus countries under GET.
Australia
The Danish Energy Agency launched the GET taskforce for Australia in 2025 to explore closer government-to-government cooperation on offshore wind regulation and policy at both federal level (Canberra) and state level (Victoria and New South Wales).
At federal level, the cooperation focuses on offshore wind legislation, environmental assessments and tender design. At state level, the emphasis is on sharing experiences on implementation, including issues such as grid connection, port infrastructure, local planning, and stakeholder engagement.
Australia is undergoing a comprehensive energy transition with rapid deployment of renewable energy, but also facing significant challenges related to grid capacity and system stability, where Danish regulatory experience is considered relevant. The country has set ambitious targets of 82% renewable electricity by 2030 and a 43% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2005. In 2024, renewables accounted for around one third of electricity generation, mainly from onshore wind, solar and hydropower.
Spain
In Spain, the GET taskforce focuses on concrete avenues for cooperation, including knowledge exchange on framework conditions for offshore wind.
Spain has set ambitious targets for renewable energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in its updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) 2023–2030. The plan aims for 81% of electricity generation to come from renewable energy sources by 2030, alongside a 43% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 1990 levels.
