80 percent of the energy surplus was sent equally to Germany and Norway and the remaining 20 percent was destined to Sweden.In the opinion of Oliver Joy, representative of the European Wind Energy Association, “this means that a world that covers 100 percent of its energy needs exploiting renewable energy is no longer a fantasy.”

In Denmark the field of wind energy has a crucial state support. Furthermore, the Scandinavian country is one of the world leaders in the field of renewable energies.
