In 2014, power generation by the Danish power utility DONG Energy fell dramatically (-28%), from 19 TWh in 2013 to 13.7 TWh in 2014, due to a 37% fall in thermal power generation (to 8.7 TWh) and to a slighter decrease in wind and hydropower production (-5.7% to 5 TWh). This fall is linked to a warmer weather and to power generation assets divested during the year. The fall in thermal generation and the almost stable wind power generation contributed to a 16% drop in CO2 emissions per kWh to 374 g/kWh in 2014. The lower electricity demand related to higher temperatures also led to a 11% drop in gas sales (to 120 TWh) and to a 22% drop in heat generation. Electricity sales soared in 2014 to 30.8 TWh (+83%), due to increased sales of green certificates and higher sales in the United Kingdom.
Oil and gas production increased noticeably over the year, with gas output rising by nearly 1/3 to 31.2 mboe, thanks to increased production at the Orman Lange field. Oil production rose by 29% to 10.6 mboe.
