Energinet and Dansk Energi have updated a joint capacity map that shows where the grid is currently full and where there is room for new production in Denmark.
The second version of the map allows developers also to get an initial assessment of how long it will take Energinet to connect to the electricity transmission network.
Energinet and Dansk Energi said the map is important to ensure that the green transition takes place smartest, fastest and most smoothly for, for example, companies that want to set up new wind turbines and solar panels.
Energinet chief planner Rikke Bille said the map can help site new hydrogen plants and power-to-X plants where there is a surplus of production and where the electricity does not have to be transported far before it enters the factory.
The map also includes technology distribution information showing whether electricity production comes from wind, solar or combined heat and power plants.
Bille said: “A connection point in the electricity grid may immediately seem to be full, but if all the power already comes from wind turbines, there may well be room for new solar cells, because they typically do not produce maximum at the same time.”
The map also contains time estimates for how long it will take Energinet to connect new production to the electricity transmission network.
