Denmark reached an important milestone in renewable energy in 2019, with wind power alone producing almost half of its electricity
.
Danish national energy operator Energinet announced new wind energy records
on Twitter on Thursday.
Wind power now accounts for 47% of the country's energy consumption, surpassing the record set in 2017 of 43%.
The increase is largely due to the country's launch this year of Horns Rev 3, the largest offshore wind farm in the North Sea, which generates enough energy to power
around 425,000 Danish homes.
Denmark's leftist coalition government took over in the summer of 2019 and raised the country's climate targets
.
These include reducing emissions by 70%
by 2030 from 1990 levels.
According to the Danish Energy Agency, coal, oil and gas still play an important role
in meeting the country's energy consumption.
But the ongoing wind revolution is likely to help the country reduce emissions
by reducing demand for highly polluting energy sources.
Still, the Danes are not immune to the effects of
climate change.
More rainfall, more winds and more extreme weather events
are expected in the country.
Although it accounts for only a small fraction of the world's carbon emissions, it must still be reduced to zero along with that of all other countries to avoid the worst impacts
of climate change.
Energinet said the share of electricity generated by offshore wind turbines increased from 14 percent in 2018 to 18 percent last year
.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) said in October that while offshore wind turbines generate only 0.
3% of global electricity generation today, electricity generation is expected to increase 15-fold
over the next two decades.
Denmark aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent by 2030 and passed a new climate law late last year with the goal of increasing the share of electricity generated from renewable sources to 100 percent
.
Denmark, home to wind turbine giant Vestas and Orsted, the world's largest offshore wind development company, has good wind conditions and began investing heavily in wind power
in the 1970s.
