Renewable energy

Our renewable energy advisory teams, Wind Energy Advisory (WEA) and Energy Transition Advisory (ETA), facilitate knowledge sharing, business and partnerships opportunities between the North American and Danish energy sector. 

With a rapidly growing renewable energy industry and ambitions to achieve 80% clean power by 2030 and fully carbon free electricity grid by 2035 in the US, the North American energy sector has the potential to become a frontrunner within green energy transition. 

The growth in renewable energy in North America, and the rest of the world, is accelerating, and so is the demand for supplies, knowledge and expertise within the sector. Denmark has a long-standing tradition within renewable energy, and especially the development of wind power have put Denmark at the very front when it comes to green transition in the energy sector. This long-standing tradition has given Denmark and Danish companies the necessary skills to develop cost-effective projects and solutions, invest locally, and share knowledge and experience with other partners within the energy sector in North America. 

The Wind Energy Advisory and The Energy Transition Advisory provide a full range of professional services for North American companies looking to explore pathways for renewable energy and green transition. With specialized knowledge, the advisories can facilitate cost efficiency solutions and alliances with leading Danish companies within the renewable energy segment. 

The advisories are part of The Trade Council at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, and the partners include public Danish energy organizations, the Danish Energy Agency and leading technology and service providers.

The Wind Energy Advisory - Offshore

The U.S. Department of Energy anticipates that the U.S. will install 86 GW of offshore wind by 2050 and generate around 10% of the US electricity needs. As the first country in world to install offshore wind farms more than 30 years ago, Denmark is still a world-leader when it comes to offshore wind technology and supply chain solutions. The Offshore Wind Advisory assists offshore wind companies with strategic analysis, hardware supply, market outreach, business development and establishing partnerships.
