The Energi Danmark Group has maintained a specific focus on renewable energy for a long time. This includes our own environmental approach and also our customers and their business activities, with a focus on looking after the environment. Our policies concerning the environment and climate have both an external and an internal focus and ongoing work is undertaken to improve these.
Energi Danmark's climate and energy policy is about contributing to the development of renewable energy in Denmark. In order to turn this goal into specific action, the subsidiary Energi Danmark Vind A/S (EDV) was incorporated in 2009. EDV invests in, develops and runs wind turbine projects. By investing in new wind turbine developments, Energi Danmark continually works to increase the net amount of renewable energy in Denmark for the benefit of the future environment.

Energi Danmark Vind's purpose is to actively contribute to society through reduced carbon emission and a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. Through the development of the Group's wind portfolio, we are able to deliver increasing volumes of environmentally friendly electricity to the electricity grid. Following the completion of a project, a wind turbine can either be incorporated into the Group's operations and support our own consumption or sold to customers wishing to invest in sustainable energy. Read more about our focus on renewable energy in our latest CSR report.
EDV has taken part in the implementation of new wind power installations in the Danish electricity supply grid corresponding to annual production of 265,000 MWh, which is equivalent to the consumption of around 58,900 households.
In parallel with the development of wind energy in the Danish market and the development of our own wind turbine portfolio, our goal is to offer customers environmentally friendly electricity products combined with the opportunity of participating in new wind turbine projects. The erection of the new turbines helps secure the energy resources of the future. When customers choose sustainable energy, it adds a political agenda in an area where there is still plenty of room for expansion and improvement.
We have developed a sustainable choice through our product Environmentally Friendly Electricity, with which we aim to inspire customers and business partners to make responsible choices. Environmentally friendly electricity is generated from either wind or hydropower sources in Denmark or Norway. When choosing to buy environmentally friendly electricity, customers receive a certificate documenting their responsible purchase – thus also creating additional value for your company.
By hedging their energy needs completely or partly through electricity generated from Danish wind turbines or Nordic hydropower plants, our customers contribute to a continuous focus on renewable energy. In the Energi Danmark Group we continuously focus on giving our customers an environmentally friendly choice when buying electricity.
