The Energy Museum receives extraordinary support again this year

In the Finance Act in 2023, the Energy Museum at Tange was granted DKK 5.8 million. DKK, after the museum had otherwise had to announce that they were forced to close to the public. Now the Energy Mouse is again to be found in this year's Finance Act, where you get an extraordinary amount of DKK 1 million. DKK in support from the pool for local initiatives. 

Energimusset receives an "extraordinary subsidy with a view to supporting the museum's dissemination of the history and contemporary importance of energy", according to the Finance Act. 

The chairman of the Energy Museum, Karin Gaardsted, who is also a member of the Danish Parliament for Social Democracy, is of course happy about the money:

- It is quite unusual that you get support two years in a row under the Finance Act, so we are very grateful for that, just as we also take it as a gift for the important role that the Energy Museum has to play, says Karin Gaardsted.< /p>

Close to the finish line 

The Energy Museum was able to celebrate its 40th anniversary earlier this year. Last year, the museum lost its operating grant of DKK 6 million. DKK after refusal by the Minister for Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard (M).

Since 2002, the museum has received a state operating subsidy paid via Energinet for the operation of the museum. In 2022, the Danish Supply Authority decided that it was no longer legal to pay this subsidy. 

Karin Gaardsted says that they are still looking for funds that can help the museum to a more secure future, and there is still a good two million missing. DKK continuously so that the operating budget can run.

With the extraordinary support for the Finance Act this year, you are a good step closer to reaching the goal, says the chairman. 

- With the support here, we are very close to the finish line, says Karin Gaardsted.
