Stor korrektion i AF26: Energistyrelsen halverer fremskrivningen for datacentres elforbrug. AF25: 36 TWh i 2050 AF26: 15 TWh HRE5: 10–15 TWh Langt mere realistisk – og vigtigt for både elnet, VE-udbygning og udnyttelse af overskudsvarme.

1/4 The new Danish Government presents a new foundation for the energy transition. Energy is still at the centre of Danish politics - now also as security policy, competitiveness policy, infrastructure policy, industrial policy and cost-of-living policy.

3/4 The platform also points to stronger electricity grid planning and new offshore wind tenders linked to the wider European 300 GW ambition from the Esbjerg and Hamburg declarations.

1/5 Europe is finally starting to align one of the hardest parts of the hydrogen story: support, demand and infrastructure. Germany’s €1.3 billion support for renewable hydrogen production in Denmark is therefore not just another subsidy - its new market design - inovation market design.

4/5 this is not only good news for Danish hydrogen producers. It also strengthens the case for the hydrogen backbone for industrial decarbonisation in Germany and for Denmark’s role as a northern European energy hub. This is still not the finish line.

2/5 And lets be honest: we may fail and learn. The European Commission has approved a German state-aid scheme under the European Hydrogen Bank’s Auction-as-a-Service mechanism, tied to hydrogen production in Denmark and delivery through the future Danish-German hydrogen infrastructure to industrial

1/2 Europe is once again facing its core energy-policy dilemma: how to protect industrial competitiveness without losing the direction of decarbonisation. High energy prices, geopolitical instability and carbon costs are hitting energy-intensive industry hard. #EU #Industry #ETS

1/2 Odsherred-sagen handler ikke kun om drift/effektivitet. Forsyninger med naturligt monopol hviler på to ben af tillid: - at prisen ikke bare kan skrues op - at ejerskab og beslutninger ikke flytter langt væk fra borgerne

Vi har brug for en kulturforandring i vores opfattelse af elnettet. Fremtidens elsystem kan ikke drives med gårsdagens logik. Det største problem i elnetdebatten lige nu er ikke kun mangel på kobber. Det er mangel på fleksibilitet i måden, vi tænker adgang til nettet på. 👇🏼

Vi skal selvfølgelig udbygge nettet. Men vi skal gøre det klogere. Bygger vi elnet i samme takt, som vi øger elforbruget, uden samtidig at gøre fleksibilitet, timing og placering til en central løsningsdel, bliver det langt dyrere end nødvendigt. Gør vi det, kan vi også målrette udbygningen bedre. 👇🏼

--markant over døgnet - så ændrer regnestykket sig. Vores elforbrug ligger typisk et sted mellem cirka 3,5 og 7 GW hen over døgnet. Derfor er der perioder og områder i Danmark, hvor der er kapacitet - og andre, hvor presset er langt større. Det er dér, diskussionen også burde ligge. 👇🏼

1/2 An interesting graph - but also one that can be misread. It makes many people think the answer is simply to copy Norway or Sweden in the electrification pathway. I do not think that is the right lesson. Do not copy Norway and Sweden one-to-one.

Forty years ago, Chernobyl became one of my first real TV memories. I was a child then - about the same age as my own children are now. I remember the reactor, the radioactive cloud over Scandinavia, and the feeling that something very far away had suddenly become very close. 1/4

That is still one of the central lessons for me, 40 years later. Much has changed since 1986. Nuclear safety in the Western world has improved very significantly, and a disaster of this kind is far less likely today. But the lessons must remain about: 3/4
