Heat supply in Denmark

There are more than two and a half million domestic heating installations in Denmark. Many of these, one and a half million, are district heating (DH) installations. Thus, district heating dominates the heating scene of Denmark.

Today, about 80% of DH is co-produced with electricity. This is called co-generated heat and electricity and is one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly ways of producing electricity and heat.

 

If you would like a summary of heat supply in Denmark - about the use of fuels for heat generation, the number of heating installations, about overall regulations etc. - then this homepage is a good place to start.
