DONG Energy

DONG Energy is one of Northern Europe’s leading energy groups. Their business is based on procuring, producing, distributing, trading and selling energy and related products in Northern Europe.

 

High efficiency generation

DONG Energy is Denmark’s largest power generator. They produce more than 50% of Denmark’s power and approximately 40% of the district’s heat. They are there working to expand energy supplies based on renewable energy sources – such as wind, water, sun, biomass and geothermal energy.

Strong capabilities in wind energy

DONG Energy is one of Europe’s leading wind power generators. They have more than 16 years of experience in building and running offshore wind farms. They have been an active player since the very beginning, and they have helped establish half of the world’s ten largest offshore wind farms. They intend to maintain this leading position.

In Denmark, DONG Energy’s “home” market, the proportion of wind energy is among the greatest of any country in the world. DONG has contributed to this success.

While the majority of their wind capacity comes from Denmark, a growing quantity comes from the UK due to current assets there as well as numerous in development.

Renewable energy more than just wind

DONG Energy generates power and heat based on water in Norway and Sweden, which have good hydropower resources. They replace some of the fossil fuels with biomass in the power plants and generate small amounts of energy from geothermal sources and solar cells.
