As I understand it, most or their wind e goes to Norway and Sweden at

But this is precisely the problem. Denmark's windpower does not work on
its own. It has to have storage and/or backup generation to keep the
lights on. That backup is mainly outside Denmark (Norway & Sweden as you
helpfully point out).


and Germany, too

On that basis you cannot look at Denmark in isolation and use their
windpower as a model for others - you have to look at entire grid they
are part of.
