Solar PVOnshore windOffshore windCSPBuilding / planned

Denmark has 8.3 GW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 425 tracked facilities, ranking #28 of 222 countries in this atlas.

The fleet is balanced between solar (3.4 GW) and wind (4.9 GW).

Offshore wind contributes 2.7 GW; Denmark is one of the few countries with offshore wind farms in operation.

The pipeline is substantial: 0 MW under construction and 28.7 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 345% of today’s operating fleet.

About 3.1 GW (37%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2002, with 1.1 GW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Central Denmark Region (952 MW), North Denmark Region (848 MW), Oksby (776 MW).
