Electricity market in Denmark

Denmark has two bidding zones: DK1 (Jutland and Funen) and DK2 (Zealand and Copenhagen). The grid is run by Energinet. Wind power produces more than half of Danish electricity.

DK1 is connected to Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands (COBRAcable) and the UK (Viking Link); DK2 to Sweden and Germany (Kontek). Danish prices therefore swing between Nordic and German levels with the wind.

DK1 is western Denmark (Jutland and Funen).

How to use these prices

If you have a dynamic electricity contract, the hourly price changes your bill directly: running the dishwasher, washing machine or EV charger in the cheapest hours instead of the evening peak can halve the cost of that energy. The cheapest consecutive hours are highlighted above for both today and tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions

Usually at night and, on sunny days, around midday when solar output peaks. The most expensive hours are typically the morning and evening peaks. The cheapest 2- and 4-hour windows for today and tomorrow are shown above.

When are tomorrow's electricity prices for Denmark (DK1) published?

Is this the price I pay for electricity in Denmark (DK1)?

No. This is the wholesale price without VAT, taxes, network charges or the supplier's margin. It matters directly if you have a dynamic or spot-price contract; fixed-price contracts follow it only over months.

Why is the price in Denmark (DK1) different from neighbouring countries?

All European zones are coupled in one market. Prices are equal when cross-border lines have spare capacity and differ when lines are congested — then each zone's own supply and demand set its price.
