Home Latest Wind Energy News Lykke Friis looks to implement dynamic tariff for wind energy

A new report commissioned by the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, Lykke Friis, recommends that the way electricity generated by the nation's wind turbines should be changed, writes financial daily newspaper Børsen. "One of the main challenges regarding tomorrow's electricity system is to find out how to make the most out of our fluctuating wind energy. The report concludes that instead of charging an average price, the price should be what it costs to send current through the grid during the next hour," Lykke Friis told Børsen, adding that she will now look at what changes to the current law will be required. The minister indicates that although a dynamic tariff may not be of great importance right now, the situation in the future will change as electric cars become a developing part of the country's mass transport system and heat pumps are installed in an increasing number of Danish homes.
