Smart Grid Applied Denmark October 24-27 2011
"Denmark is a leader of clean energy and alternative energy."
President Barack Obama, press conference, March 15th, 2011.
Denmark, with nearly twice the renewable energy on the grid than any other country - over 20% from wind alone- has developed the prototype for a modern electricity system with high penetration of variable electricity generation. As Denmark works toward the stated goal of 50 per cent generation from wind by 2025 and fossil fuel independence by 2050, the country is rapidly transforming electricity system where flexible demand will enable more renewables and a cleaner energy sector.
With over 20% of all EU smart grid development projects, Denmark is the perfect springboard to Europe's estimated $80 billion USD marketplace for smart grid solutions by 2020 (Pike Research).

Smart Grid Applied Denmark will highlight how today’s applications of smart grid technologies have contributed to Denmark’s unique position as a world leader in renewable electricity, showcase how the country is transforming its energy system and present opportunities for leading international technology companies to participate in building Europe’s prototype for an intelligent energy system.
Smart Grid Applied is a prime opportunity to take advantage of the unique development opportunities in Denmark. Through seminars, showcases and site visits to world leading demonstration projects, the Smart Grid Applied Denmark program will bring leading international smart grid companies from accross the globe together with Danish industry leaders and researchers to explore opportunities for collaboration and new business.
”Not only does Denmark have outstanding technology and innovation in smart grid – it is also one of the countries in the world with most experience, when it comes to applying renewable energy on the grid. This experience is valuable to other countries whether they are turning their power grid greener or have a need to increase volume in the existing system" - Lars Aagaard, CEO Danish Energy Association
