Five municipalities in Jutland, Denmark, accounted for approximately 27% of the nation’s solar electricity production between April 2024 and April 2025. Data from Energinet reveals that Aabenraa, Vejle, Viborg, Ringkøbing, and Holstebro lead in solar energy contribution.

These geographically larger municipalities possess the space needed for extensive solar park installations, according to Energinet’s chief consultant David Hartz. Lolland, Faxe, Lemvig, and Randers closely follow the top five in solar energy production.

Denmark’s solar energy sector is experiencing continuous growth. Energinet anticipates that May will set a new record for solar energy production, potentially reaching 657 gigawatt hours, surpassing the previous record of 638 gigawatt hours set in June 2023. The outcome will depend on the weather conditions for the remainder of the month, according to David Hartz.

Solar cells contributed more than nine percent of Denmark’s net electricity production in 2024, a significant increase from approximately six percent in 2022.

Between 2020 and 2023, Denmark tripled its capacity for electricity production from solar cells, primarily due to the construction of large field systems.
