Lack of bids for offshore wind farms requires a broader energy strategy

The government should prioritize energy efficiency in line with energy production, according to Danske Byggecentre.

The absence of bids for the offered offshore wind farms in the North Sea shows the need for a more balanced approach to Denmark's green transition. This is what Danske Byggecentre writes in a press release.

– The energy we do not use is both the cheapest and the greenest. We have to use energy more efficiently, says Palle Thomsen, CEO. director of Danske Byggecentre.

By investing in energy efficiency, Denmark can reduce the pressure on the energy supply, reduce dependence on Russian gas and achieve CO2 reductions quickly and cost-effectively. Measures such as insulating buildings, replacing windows and improving heating systems can simultaneously create local jobs and lower energy bills for home owners.

- The lack of interest in the offshore wind farms emphasizes that we cannot base our green transition on production alone. Energy efficiency must be higher on the political agenda, says Palle Thomsen, CEO. director of Danske Byggecentre.

If Denmark is to achieve its climate goals, it requires a strategy that both strengthens the climate fight and ensures a robust energy supply.
