Denmark is reevaluating its 40-year ban on nuclear power, signaling a potential shift towards modular reactors as Europe focuses on energy security and low-carbon solutions.
The Danish government is assessing the viability of next-generation nuclear technologies, including small modular reactors, as part of its energy strategy. This marks a significant shift for a country that has relied heavily on renewables, generating over 80% of its electricity from sources like wind and solar.
Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard highlighted the need for careful analysis, reflecting growing European interest in nuclear power to meet rising demand for low-carbon energy. Denmark’s former prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen also voiced support for lifting the ban, calling it outdated given the need for reliable, non-fossil energy sources.
Ørsted, Denmark’s renewable energy giant, faces challenges from inflation and rising costs, which recently led to the cancellation of a major offshore wind project in the UK. This development underscores the potential importance of diversifying Denmark’s energy strategy.
