Denmark energy prices expected to rise for 2027

Energy and district heating prices in Denmark are projected to increase heading into 2027 due to rising energy costs. Bornholms Energi og Forsyning (BEOF) expects district heating prices to rise by approximately two percent on January 1, 2027, while electricity prices are also anticipated to rise slightly over the winter period.

Other regions may face more significant hikes. In Præstø, district heating prices are expected to rise by as much as 40 percent, partly due to grid capacity issues preventing a full transition to electricity. In Sæby and Frederikshavn, increases of 18 percent and nine percent have been reported, respectively.

Experts note that while some providers are shielded by using biomass, others dependent on gas face much higher increases. The volatility in electricity prices is also linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz, which impact global oil and gas supplies.
