Denmark: New CO2 legislation may foster export
Article Abstract:
A change in the legislation concerning the emission of carbon dioxides might make electricity export a profitable business. The Danish Government has proposed a new legislation that would allow Danish energy producers to make investments lowering Co2 emissions from plants located outside of Denmark and to take advantage of the savings by increasing production at plants in Denmark. Until now, the increased costs associated with an increased production of electricity has made it unprofitable to produce for export in Denmark. With the change, Danish producers would be able to invest in plants located in Easter Europe, were the equipment is less expensive, and then to produce the electricity in Denmark without being fined for exceeding the Co2 emission limits.

Denmark: Electricity sector to be made more effective
Article Abstract:
The Danish Energy Agency has ordered almost all 77 electricity companies in Denmark to make their operations more effective and charge fewer fees. This will entail a saving of around DKr170mn (US$20.3mn) for Danish consumers over the next two years. Clients of some of the biggest electricity companies in the country - including NESA and NIVE - will see the biggest cuts in their electricity bills as these companies are among the most expensive ones. The Energy Agency focuses on the part of the electricity sector that was not deregulated in conjunction with the electricity reform i.e. the power mains.
