New Scenario tool analyses the benefits and cost of green transition
The Danish Energy Agency launches the Balmorel Lite tool for assessment of the value of renewable energy in different electricity systems. Based on existing power plants, various scenarios can be simulated to represent potential system effects of various investments in renewable energy sources like wind and solar. It is a simple tool that can analyse the transformation of the power systems.
Energy consumption increased in 2016 due to less wind
Colder weather in 2016, combined with lower wind power production and lower net imports of electricity meant that Denmark’s energy consumption and carbon emissions rose last year. This is confirmed by the Danish Energy Agency’s preliminary energy statistics for 2016.
New agreement is to provide Clean Heat to Beijing
The China National Energy Conservation Center and the Danish Energy Agency signed an implementing agreement of a Sino-Danish pilot project on district heating and energy efficiency improvement in Beijing.
The Danish Energy Agency and The Government of Ethiopia sign the Implementing Partnership Arrangement
A delegation from the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) headed by Mr. Anton Beck, Head of Division for Global Cooperation, and Dr Engineer Sileshi Bekele Minister of Water, Irrigation and Electricity of Ethiopia (MOWIE) have officially signed the Implementation Partnership Arrangement, which covers Government-to-Government Cooperation on wind power.
New “Energy Outlook 2016” with Danish technical assistance shows the way to a cleaner energy production in Indonesia
The bilateral country cooperation between Indonesia and Denmark achieved another milestone as DEA and the Danish Embassy in Jakarta, assisted the Indonesian "National Energy Council" (NEC) with their future energy modeling and launched the “Energy Outlook 2016” today.
Indonesian delegation in Denmark to learn about energy modelling and integration of renewables
An Indonesian delegation is visiting Denmark to learn how to meet the rapidly growing energy demand by utilising the potential of renewable energy.
Contracts in the first Solar PV tender in Denmark signed
The contracts were concluded on the 27th of december at the Danish Energy Agency as a result of the first Danish tender of aid for electricity generated at solar PV installations.
Historically low prices offered in Danish tender of aid for solar PV
The winning tenders in the pilot tender of aid for solar PV conducted by the Danish Energy Agency were for a premium of only 12.89 Danish øre per kWh. This result testifies that electricity from solar PV in Denmark can now compete with the cheapest sources of renewable energy.
Danish wind expertise to ensure growth and development in Ethiopia
Denmark and the Danish Energy Agency contributes to sustainable energy expansion in Ethiopia by signing of cooperation agreement on wind energy
Renewables now cover 56% of electricity consumption
Higher electricity imports and much higher wind power generation led to a large drop in consumption of coal and other fossil fuels at power plants in 2015. This in turn meant that observed CO2 emissions fell by 6.6% in 2015, and that renewable energy now covers 56% of electricity consumption. These are headlines from Energy Statistics 2015, which were published by the Danish Energy Agency today.
