Wind power in Denmark
Denmark was a pioneer in developing commercial wind power during the 1970s, and today a substantial share of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers such as Vestas—the world's largest wind-turbine manufacturer—along with many component suppliers. Furthermore, Denmark has—as of 2022—the 2nd highest amount in the world of wind power generation capacity installed per capita, behind only neighboring Sweden.
In 2020, wind power produced 56% of total electricity generation in Denmark, up from 20% in 2010 and 11% in 2000.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] This contributes to the government's target of 100% renewable power generation by 2030.[9][10]
Denmark had the 4th best energy architecture performance in the world in 2017 according to the World Economic Forum,[11] and the second best energy security in the world in 2019 according to the World Energy Council.[12]
