DK2: Eastern Denmark's electricity price zone

Denmark's electricity market is divided into two principal price zones, with DK2 representing the eastern region. This zone includes the area east of the Storebælt Bridge, encapsulating Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark. Copenhagen is not just the largest city in the DK2 zone but also a pivotal center for energy consumption and policy in Eastern Denmark. The distinct nature of DK2 highlights the specific energy demands and sources of the region.

Nationwide adoption of smart meters in Denmark

Following European Union guidelines, Denmark has achieved a significant technological advancement in energy management by ensuring the implementation of smart meters in 100% of its households. These meters, which provide hourly electricity usage data, are pivotal in the DK2 zone for efficient energy consumption and management.

Most households in DK2 have electricity plans that are directly linked to the fluctuating spot prices, which are displayed on this page. This allows residents in Eastern Denmark to adapt their electricity usage according to the hourly price changes, fostering a more conscious and efficient energy consumption pattern.

Energy sources in Denmark

Primary energy sources in DK2

The emphasis in DK2 on renewable energy sources aligns with Denmark's broader environmental goals and its commitment to reducing carbon emissions. This commitment to sustainability is a key aspect of the region's energy policy and reflects in the energy consumption patterns in Eastern Denmark.

Integration with the European union electricity market

Questions and answers about electricity

What is a kWh?

kWh stands for kilowatt-hour, and is a unit that tells how much energy is used in one hour. Kilo means a thousand. So for example, if you have a 1000 watt oven on for one hour, you have used 1 kilowatt-hour. For a light bulb, which may only consume 10 watt, it will take 100 hours (just over 4 days) before you have used 1 kWh.
