Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.
~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.
Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.
Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

🇪🇸 Spain's electricity in 2000: 56% fossil, 2% solar & wind.
By 2026: 44% solar & wind, just 17% fossil.
The crossover came in 2023. Gas now sets the price only 15% of the time vs 89% in Italy.

One wind turbine can produce the energy to build 27 wind turbines.
It is infinite energy, one produces infinity.

Thermal generation still dwarfs wind+solar, but new wind+solar (+nuclear+hydro) is broadly meeting elec demand growth, halting further rises

Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

In a first, Germany drew more power from wind and solar than from fossil fuels last year.
In Germany, Wind and Solar Overtake Fossil Fuels
Together, wind and solar generated 44 percent of Germany’s electricity, while fossil fuels generated roughly 43 percent, according to data from the Energy Institute, a think tank based in London. The figures represent a major milestone for the German “Energiewende,” or “energy turnaround,” a national push to ramp up renewable energy and phase out gas, coal, and nuclear power.
