A world record 54.8 percent of electricity was produced by wind turbines in December.
Wind energy produced more than half of Denmark’s electricity needs during December, which is a world record according to Energi Net.
On average, wind turbines provided 54.8 percent of Danish electricity during December, and 68.5 percent of electricity during the week of the Christmas holiday.
The highest proportion of electricity coming from wind turbines during a single day was on Saturday, December 21, when wind turbines produced electricity equivalent to 102 percent of Denmark’s needs.
Denmark's wind energy capacity of 4,792 MW produced 11.1 billion kilowatt hours of wind energy in 2013, equivalent to 33.2 percent of the electricity Denmark consumed for the year.
But while Denmark holds the record for the proportion of its energy derived from windmills, its wind energy capacity is dwarfed by China, which installed 75,564 MW of wind energy in 2012.
