In June and September 2024, several utility commissioners joined other U.S. stakeholders in separate week-long trips to Denmark, supported by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), to meet with regulators, industry, vendors, and technical experts. Industry in Denmark has achieved a 47% reduction in energy intensity in the past fifty years. The Danish experience is instructive to understand where and how various energy resources are being used most effectively, and how Denmark is achieving its energy security and environmental goals while maintaining a robust economy which includes the manufacturing and agriculture industries. Commissioner Karen Kemerait, North Carolina and Commissioner Hwikwon Ham, Minnesota, will share takeaways from their experience abroad and lessons for U.S. regulators.
