Denmark Wind Share of Electricity by Year 2010-2025

About This Dataset

The percentage of Denmark electricity generation that came from wind in each year from 2010 to 2025, from Ember Yearly Electricity Data. Denmark runs the highest wind share of any sizeable power system in the world. Because the figure is a share of total generation, it moves with wind output and with everything else the country generates.

✨ AI Insight

Denmark wind share nearly tripled in fifteen years, from 20.2 percent in 2010 to 58.7 percent in 2025, which is also the highest value in the series. The path is not smooth: four years fell back, most sharply 2021, which gave up 8.4 points after 2020 reached 57.1 percent, and 2016, down 7.1 points. Wind output varies with the weather, so a single weak year does not mean turbines were removed. Two forces push the share up. Wind generation rose from 7.8 TWh to 20.3 TWh, while total Danish electricity output actually shrank, from 38.8 TWh to 34.5 TWh. A rising share on a shrinking base is what makes this chart unusual.
