Denmark — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 90 energy assets in Denmark across 7 layers — the 65th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 53 power plants, 24 oil & gas fields and 6 interconnectors. Operating generation capacity is 6.9 GW, led by wind at 39%.

The companies named on the most assets are TotalEnergies (20), Ørsted A/S (12) and Danish Underground Consortium (9), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Denmark's mapped assets in service predate 2003 (median commissioning year of the 36 with a known date), 10 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Amager power station, dating from 1971. 31 projects are under construction or proposed, led by VindØ Energy Island Offshore wind farm (10.0 GW).
