Contribution of wind power and CHP to exports from Western Denmark during 2000–2004

The experience of Denmark is used by the United Kingdom's anti-wind lobby to demonstrate that intermittency and inaccuracies in wind forecasting make wind power ineffective and expensive. A further assertion is that most of the power is ‘unwanted’ since up to 80% of it is exported. Here, available data for Danish energy production for 2000–2004 is used to assess the link between wind generation and exports and test the validity of these claims.
