EN-3 Price supplement for environmentally friendly electricity
1 Sector: Energy sector
2 Name*: Price supplement for environmentally friendly electricity
3 Origin: National measure
4 Legal basis: The political Agreement on Energy of 29 March 2004. The price supplement for production of environmentally friendly electricity is implemented via the Act on Electricity Supply and it is payed by the electricity consumers relative to consumption (Public Service Obligation).
5 Domestic compliance and enforcement:  
6 Description: Since 1 January 2005, all environmentally friendly electricity from wind turbines and other plants based on renewable energy and from decentralised CHP plants, has been sold on market terms. The previous subsidy for environmentally friendly electricity, where consumers were allowed only to buy electricity at a fixed price, has changed into a financial subsidy adjusted relatively to the market price and to a price supplement to the market price. The main principle is that existing plants can receive the susidy in 20 years, with 15 years as the minimum from 2004. New plants based on renewable energy kan receive the subsidy for 20 years.
7 Objective: Support for technology development and aiming for making electricity production with wind turbines competitive to conventionally produced electricity, Reduction of the impact on the environment, including CO2 emissions.

1 Sector: Energy sector, measures no longer in place or replaced
2 Name*: Requirement for offshore wind turbines
3 Origin: National measure
4 Legal basis: Recommandations from "The action plan on offshore windturbines in Danish waters (1997)"
5 Domestic compliance and enforcement: Requirement
6 Description: Requirement to the power plants to build: 1. 200 MW wind power on land before 2000 (according to agreement between the Ministry for the Envionment and Energy and producers of electricity). 2. 750 MW offshore wind power in the period 2002-2008 (an element in the energi savings action plan Energy 21). However, this order was withdrawn in 2002. 3. In addition, a state financed subsidy of DKK 10 per kWh was given to the production of electricity from 1992 until mid 1999.
7 Objective: Expansion of environmentally friendly technology in electricity production.
8 Greenhouse gas(es) affected: CO2
9 Type of measure: Regulatory (administrative), Economic (financial)
10 Status of implementation: 1. Implemented 2. Withdrawn and replaced by tenders 3. With the reorganisation of 1 January 2005 it was replaced by price supplement for the production of environmentally friendly electricity.

32 Side effects – on other GHGs or GHG emitting activities:  
33 Side effects – on other air pollutants: Decrease in emissions of SO2 and NOx from power plants due to decrease in production of electricity. Therefore power plants can save some of the costs related to compliance with the SO2- og NOx quota regulation. With this, it is assumed that there are no extra environmental benefits from reduction of SO2- and NOx-emissions.

BU-1 Agreements on energy efficiency with business
1 Sector: Business (energy consumption)

3 Origin: National measure
4 Legal basis: Act no. 1 of 3 Frebuary 1992 Act no. 850 of 13 November 1995 Statutory Order no. 863 of 17 November 1995
5 Domestic compliance and enforcement: Cancellation of the agreement and the CO2 tax discount. Fines in the case of incorrect or detained information.
6 Description: In connection with the implementation of the CO2 tax also a subsidy for CO2 tax descount for energy intensive industries was introduced. However, a condition for getting the CO2 tax discount is an agreement on improvements in energy efficiency. Industries under the CO2 allowance scheme are no longer covered by this arrangement. The aggrement scheme was significantly revised in 1996.
7 Objective: Energy efficiency at energy-intensive enterprises and to reduce the effect of the CO2 tax on energy intensive industries' competitiveness.
8 Greenhouse gas(es) affected: CO2
9 Type of measure: Voluntary agreements, economic (financial)

32 Side effects – on other GHGs or GHG emitting activities: There will be a risk of N2O formation due to anaerobic conditions. Spreading of manure with towing tubes will increase energy consumption and therefore also CO2 emissions. It is estimated that the measure - in total - has no effect on greenhouse gas emissions.
33 Side effects – on other air pollutants:  
34 Side effects – other: N content in manure applied will increase due to reduced evaporation, and the need for commercial fertiliser will decrease.
35 Interaction with other policies and measures: An element in the Ammonia Action Plan.
36 How will the policy or measure modify longer-term trends in anthropogenic GHG emissions and removals: See Chapter 5
