Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan GRIP 2017

Moreover, the Danish Ministry of Finance has stated that Energinet.dk also must buy the DONG offshore gas pipeline from the North Sea Platforms to Jutland (and the corresponding oil pipeline in the North Sea). There is a still ongoing negotiation taking place. There are around 25 registered transport shippers in the Danish transmission system including companies with primary business interest in the adjacent Swedish gas system. Approximately, 20 supply companies offer gas on competitive terms to smaller consumers with additional specialised suppliers catering to large-scale industrial users. Gas is traded bilaterally on Gas Transfer Facility (GTF) and multilaterally on the gas exchange, Gaspoint Nordic (GPN). In 2016 the traded volume on GPN correspond- ed to 68% of the Danish gas consumption. Energinet.dk is working on ensuring the Danish (and Swedish) market as well connected to the European market. The Danish gas market provides many options, among others efficient transport of gas in and out of Germany and Sweden, custom- er-oriented gas storage and a gas exchange offering secure and transparent trading.

3.1.3 ENERGY MIX

Figure 3.1 shows the distribution on sources of the energy consumption in Denmark. The energy mix is dominated by coal, oil and natural gas. Renewable energy amounts to 29% of the energy consumption in 2015. Figure 3.2 shows the subdivision of gas demand into sectors: households, power and heat and other industry and transportation. Both historic and a projection for the future is shown.
