Danish Governments Smart Grid Strategy

Danish Governments Smart Grid Strategy

The intelligent electricity network can contribute towards handling varying amounts of power in the electrical network when more wind turbines are added to the electricity supply and with new energy consumption from. In April 2013 the Danish government therefore launched a Smart Grid Strategy. The strategy aims to promote flexibility in consumers’ energy consumption, which could cheapen the green transition of the energy system. Increased flexibility will help using fluctuating energy from especially wind turbines increasingly when it is produced. Moreover, the need for expansion of the electricity grid is reduced. The Smart Grid Strategy was prepared in close collaboration with the energy industry which is responsible for a number of concrete initiatives.
