DK1 is the western Danish bidding zone: the Jutland peninsula and the island of Funen. It is one of two Danish price areas, and it is the one wired into the continental European system, with links south to Germany and, by subsea cable, to Norway and Great Britain. Prices here are the day-ahead auction results published by Energinet through Energi Data Service, in Danish kroner per megawatt-hour.
Since the first delivery day of October 2025, the European day-ahead auction clears in 15-minute steps rather than hourly ones. We show each price against the start of its interval. This page shows price only. Danish generation is reported nationally, summed over both zones, and lives on the Denmark page; we do not split output by zone.
What moves the DK1 price: wind on land and in the North Sea, which is large relative to Jutland’s own demand and often pushes the zone into exporting; the price in neighbouring German and Dutch areas, which the coupled auction tends to pull DK1 towards whenever the cables are not full; and hydro conditions in Norway. When Jutland has more wind than the cables can carry away, the price falls below its neighbours.
Limitations: a day-ahead price is an auction outcome fixed the day before, not a measurement of the grid at that moment. It does not capture real-time balancing costs. Values may be revised and are provisional.
