- Share of renewables (2016): 6,4% of total end-use, 12,3% of electricity use
- Main renewable energy sources: biomass, PV and wind, with a minor share of hydroelectricity
- Heating networks only exist at a small scale, but are in development
Key words:
- National scale
- Fossil fuel and nuclear based
- Minor shares of renewables

Nordhavn (DTU) - description
Short Description
Nordhavn is a former industrial harbour area in Copenhagen which is in the process of being transformed into a new district. Until the year 2050, Nordhavn is planned to have 40.000 residents and 40.000 work places. The ambition is to use it as a testbed for energy technologies, supporting Copenhagen's goal to become carbon neutral in 2025.
The entire Nordhavn area consists of Iand reclaimed from the sea in several stages over the last 100 years as the growing sea trade could not be accommodated in the city center anymore. Following the deindustrialization of Copenhagen in the late 20th century, a masterplan was developed, dividing the area into a number of islets separated by canals and basins. Each of these islets is developed as an independent local district, supporting long-term development in stages.

| Climate conditions | Copenhagen is in the oceanic climate zone (Köppen classification: Cfb). Temperatures are moderated by the ocean, with average winter temperatures around 0°C and average summer temperatures around 20°C. Precipitation is moderate and corresponds to continental Europe. Due to the high latitude of 55°N, solar irradiation is strongly seasonal, with day lengths varying between 7h in December and 17h in June. Due to the low elevation and proximity to the ocean, Denmark has good wind resources. |
| Geographical characteristics | The entire Nordhavn area covers about 4 km² (400 ha), of which approx. 3.2 km² (320 ha) is land area (the remaining area is water surface in harbor basins and canals). Århusgadekvarteret, the first neighborhood with significant and dense development, covers about 0.2 km² (20 ha). It is located centrally in the urban area of Copenhagen which has about 1.3 million inhabitants (2.0 million in the metropolitan area). |
