Danish energy companies implement tariff changes and security warnings

TREFOR El-net has received approval from the Danish Utility Regulator to increase network tariffs for private customers and small businesses in the Triangle Area (Trekantområdet) between midnight and 03:00, effective January 1. The decision follows a significant rise in electricity consumption during these early morning hours, primarily driven by electric vehicle charging. Per Sørensen, director of TREFOR El-net, stated that consumption in these hours is approaching levels seen during the evening peak. The tariff increase aims to incentivize customers to shift their charging to later in the night when there is more unused grid capacity.

Separately, Nord Energi is urging citizens in North Jutland to report suspicious behavior near energy infrastructure. Director Magnus Hansen highlighted the importance of vigilance in the context of hybrid warfare, citing instances of suspicious vehicles near stations. The company remains on high alert following the Nord Stream incidents and recent espionage suspicions involving defense companies in the region.
