Denmark is producing so much wind energy it may soon be powering the U.K.

So much power was produced by Denmark’s windfarms on Thursday that the country was able to meet its domestic electricity demand and export power to Norway, Germany and Sweden. On an unusually windy day, Denmark found itself producing 116% of its national electricity needs from wind turbines yesterday evening. By 3am on Friday, when electricity demand dropped, that figure had risen to 140%. Interconnectors allowed 80% of the power surplus to be shared equally between Germany and Norway, which can store it in hydropower systems for use later. Sweden took the remaining fifth of excess power. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2015/jul/10/denmark-wind-windfarm-power-exceed-electricity-demand
