Shaking Up Supply And Demand To Make Renewables Work
|
As Denmark strives to reach ambitious renewables goals, it isn’t just adding more wind turbines and solar panels—it’s totally rethinking the way we consume electricity.

Denmark gets some 40 percent of its power from wind energy, but it’s aiming for even more—going fully renewable by 2030. Getting there means big changes not only to the way energy is produced, but also the ways it’s consumed.

This short video looks at how a tiny island is helping Denmark reach its goal of producing 100 percent clean power by 2030.
Renewable energy seems to be taking off in the US, but there are serious challenges—both technological and social—that come along with adding more solar and wind to the grid. Denmark has faced similar challenges as it has transitioned from almost no renewables in the mid-90s to almost half of its power supply today.
On an island in the middle of the Baltic Sea, Denmark is testing solutions for the electricity grid of the future.
Denmark gets some 40 percent of its power from wind energy, but it’s aiming for even more—going fully renewable by 2030. In order to do that, it’s going to have to shake up the traditional relationship between electricity supply and demand, and the country is looking to a tiny island in the middle of the Baltic Sea for guidance.
