About 53.4 percent of Denmark’s total electricity consumption was covered by wind power in 2023. The highest coverage share seen during the period from 2009 to 2023 was seen in 2022 and 2023. The production of wind power between 2021 and 2022 rose by more than 18 percent.
Wind power farms in Denmark
The largest part of Denmark’s wind power was produced from onshore wind turbines in 2023. That is not so surprising, since around 6,326 of Denmark’s total 6,974 active wind power turbines were onshore. The production from onshore wind farms was around 11 terawatt hours in 2023, and the production from offshore wind turbines amounted to 8.6 terawatt hours.
Vestas Wind Systems A/S
The Danish wind turbine company Vestas Wind Systems A/S is a key player when it comes to wind power companies. It was, in terms of revenues, the leading wind power company in Denmark as of July 2019. The company was founded in 1945 and operates today globally with wind turbine manufacturing, installation and service. As of July 2019, the company made revenues of around 75.7 billion Danish kroner.
