Open a Renewable Energy Company in Denmark

Denmark is one of the world’s leading wind energy producers, with a well-established Government policy for renewable energy production on a national level. The country’s policy includes an ambitious plan to meet the entirety of its energy demand through renewable energy by 2050 and the elimination of coal production by 2030. The rapid development of the industry and the focused policy the country has been following for the past forty years suggests that the country is likely to achieve this objective.

Part of the country’s success in developing these policies has been the excellent collaboration between public and private companies in this field. Denmark has an open economy and foreign investments are encouraged.
