Europe: Alternative Energy Denmark


Copenhagen Business School

Mogens Lykketoft, leader of Danish opposition party the Social Democrats, has proposed increasing the percentage of energy in Denmark produced from renewable energy sources.

By 2015, the Social Democrats have set a goal of doubling the amount of renewable energy used for electricity generation from 20% to 40%.

Lykketoft proposes investing approximately $820 million dollars in developing alternative energy technology including solar power and wave power. The party are also in favour of a major increase in Danish wind power production.

My figure or the figure from the Copenagen Post?

I converted 672 million euros into U.S. dollars using Oanda.com

Remember it is a proposal by a party not currently in power NOT an actual amount of money spent.
