Context

Highest renewable share in Denmark: 87.2 % in the 5-minute interval starting 2026-10-23 20:05 UTC. This is a record since 2026-10-23, the first date in our data for this market. The window is short, so the record says nothing about earlier years.

No earlier confirmed record of this kind exists in our data window, so this entry is a baseline that later readings can beat. Baseline entries are not marked notable and are not offered to search engines.

Records are built from provisional operator data that can be revised, so each one is checked against later batches before it is confirmed and can be retracted if the source changes it. Readings outside market bounds, with a wrong unit, flagged by a quality gate or showing a price jump without a matching load change are rejected and never listed. See the methodology page for the full rules. Not for trading or operational decisions. Provisional data.
