The Danish Government has put forth a plan for powering more than 11 million households with predominantly green energy. Central to this proposal are compensation schemes designed to benefit citizens and communities in the vicinity of renewable energy installations.

The Danish Government aims at easing the process for building energy parks on land, while giving higher compensation rates to citizens and local communities living in close proximity to the renewable energy installations. As such, a newly proposed plan strives to increase the supply of green energy equivalent to 11.000.000 households.

An additional objective is to substantially boost the economic benefits for local residents and significantly improve the overall well-being of the local environment.

This development is due to the expected surge in electricity demand, with consumption in Denmark anticipated to increase by approximately 50% by 2030 if no measures are taken.

In support of this proposal, a screening process has identified 32 potential energy park locations, marking significant progress toward meeting these targets.

This entails that with a fourfold increase in electricity production, the installers will contribute an additional EUR 268bn, amounting up to EUR 603bn by 2030.
