Denmark''s solar capacity surpasses 4 GW
Denmark installed 545 MW of solar in 2024, with utility-scale projects driving market growth, according to Danish solar association Dansk Solcelleforening.
Denmark has surpassed the 4GW milestone for installed solar capacity, according to recent revelations by Dansk Solcelleforing, the Danish Solar Industry Association. In 2024, Denmark achieved substantial growth in the solar sector, with new installations reaching 545MW.
The nation added 545 MW of solar last year, up from 378 MW in 2023 but down from more than 1 GW in 2022. The new additions bring Denmark's total solar capacity to more than 4 GW. Utility-scale installations drove Denmark's solar growth in 2024, with projects over 1 MW adding 356 MW, said Dansk Solcelleforening.
The association said it expects utility-scale projects to lead solar growth, forecasting 750 MW of new capacity in 2025 and 1 GW by 2026. “We expect further growth in Denmark in the coming years due to the ambitious goals set by the Danish parliament,” said Flemming V. Kristensen, chairman of the association.
1. Low solar heat price is the main driving force of large solar district heating plants in Denmark. High heat price of electricity and natural gas boiler systems results in that the solar heat is very competitive for the end-users. 2. District heating companies are mainly owned by the end-users community.
