On November 3, wind power production in Denmark exceeded the level of power consumption. Craig Morris says the event was not even especially exceptional.
Denmark is flooded with electricity, and it is increasingly wind power. As you can see from this website of current power production, the Danes publish a real-time overview of their power sector broken down into the categories of central power stations, cogeneration (local CHP), and wind turbines. At those three together and subtract electricity consumption, and you get the net power exchange. When it is positive, the country is exporting.
As you can see from the screenshot below, power production exceeded power consumption in the country on Sunday evening – when, admittedly, power demand is relatively low. But the days when renewable electricity completely offset conventional power on workdays are fast approaching. And Denmark has near 100 percent wind power increasingly often.
