Denmark has more than 5000 wind turbines. In 2008 wind turbines
accounted for almost 20 per cent of domestic electricity
supply.
The field of wind power technology has developed fast since the
beginning of the 1980s and, in particular in the last ten to
fifteen years. Today wind turbines account for a considerable
proportion of electricity production in Denmark.
As of May 2010, there were 5052 wind turbines in Denmark with an
installed wind capacity of 3545 MW, offshore wind power accounting
for 505 MW. However since then Horns Rev II has been put in to
operation and Rødsand II is also under construction. This means
that Denmark in May 2010 had over 720 MW wind capacity placed
offshore.
In 2009, wind-power production accounted for 19.3% of domestic
electricity supply. In 2009 wind turbines produced 6721 GWh
electricity.
