Decentralized energy policy in a selected EU country

SCHAEFER, Justin Calvin

The main aim of the thesis is to analysis the past fifty years of energy policy in Denmark to gain insight on how Denmark has become one of the European leaders in decarbonising its economy and developing renewable energy resources. A thorough review of academic articles, government and international institutional reports, and books on decentralised energy and climate change were essential for the research required for this work and make up the literature review section. The analysis and results section is divided into three parts that cover the three phases of the Danish energy transition and analyses the different government policies implemented during the different stages and how well they were in achieving the government's goals. - Phase one: Adding renewable energy production into energy system. - Phase two: Seeking solutions to the intermittency of renewable energy technologies when renewable energy production is between 40-50%. - Phase three: Seeking storage solutions in an 100% renewable energy system. The research led to some important insights that may be useful for other states seeking to decarbonise their economies within their own contexts and some policy recommendations conclude the paper.
