10 DENMARK TO MEET 50% WIND ENERGy IN 2020 Photo: Palle Peter Skov Map of Denmark’s transmission grid and interconnectors Denmark’s transmission grid (400 and 150/132 kV) and the interconnectors to Germany, Sweden and Norway. Interconnectors have a total capacity of more than 5,500 MW. The transmission grid is designed to handle long fluctuations and transport electricity over large distances, e.g. from on- and offshore wind farms in the west to the Danish capital in the east. Denmark often acts as a transit country, enabling power from Norway’s hydroelectric dams to be sent to Germany and Central European consumers or the other way around, if wind turbines and solar cells generate energy that Norway wants to buy.
