Average Day by Local Hour

22 days to 2026-10-21, Europe/Copenhagen time
Denmark West (DK1) average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in Denmark West (DK1) by local clock hour over 22 complete local days from 30 September to 21 October 2026. It was lowest at 05:00 (2,311 MW) and highest at 13:00 (3,333 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 1,250 2,500 3,750 5,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 22 complete local days from 30 September to 21 October 2026, weekdays and weekends together, for the hour starting at that local clock time. Net load is demand minus solar and wind generation. The single highest hour of demand in the whole 30 day window was 3,872 MW; it is a published reading, not an average, and is not part of the profile above.

Assumptions

  • Hours are local clock time in Europe/Copenhagen. A local day is used only if it is whole inside the 30 day window and at least 22 of its hours are complete; the profile uses the 22 most recent such days. Daylight saving follows the local clock: on a clock change day the missing hour is absent and the repeated hour is averaged over both readings.
  • The average mixes weekdays and weekends and covers only 22 days, so it describes recent conditions, not a seasonal norm.
  • The evening ramp is the largest rise over three hours in the average profile, starting between 14:00 and 20:00 local time.
