About 53.6 percent of Denmark’s total electricity consumption was covered by wind power in 2022. The highest coverage share seen during the period from 2009 to 2022 was seen in 2012. The production of wind power between 2018 and 2022 rose by more than 13 percent.
Wind power farms in Denmark
The largest part of Denmark’s wind power was produced from onshore wind turbines in 2019. That is not so surprising, since around 5.7 thousand of Denmark’s total 6,260 active wind power turbines were onshore. The production from onshore wind farms was 10.4 terawatt hours in 2018, and the production from offshore wind turbines amounted to 5.2 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.
