Hot water or steam is produced centrally and then distributed through a network of insulated pipes to high population areas. Houses within a district heating area have heat exchangers installed instead of boilers for their heating and hot water requirements. The heat exchanger keeps the two water systems separate and means that heat can be adjusted as with a familiar domestic boiler. One simple but important innovation in the district heating network was the development of internally insulated pipes. The two pipes taking and receiving the return of water are placed inside a much larger pipe and insulating material is set so as to fill the figure eight shaped void between the two smaller and the large pipe. In 2013 district heating supplied over 60% of all households in Denmark with heating and hot water.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The development of district heating technology has led Denmark to become a world leader in industrial pump and thermostat designs and its products are used in many industries worldwide. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Cogeneration" title="Cogeneration">Cogeneration</a> is also widely used. This is a process that extracts the waste heat produced when generating electricity. Power stations designed to do this are known as <a href="/wiki/Combined_Heat_and_Power_Generation" class="mw-redirect" title="Combined Heat and Power Generation">Combined Heat and Power</a> (CHP) stations. CHP stations in Denmark are often sized to provide the heat required for the local district heating system. Thus CHP stations produce both electricity for the grid and heat for district heating systems. Heat can be stored in large industrial hot water tanks for several days allowing electricity and heat supply to be provided time independently from each other. By 2013 the use of CHP stations had reduced the overall energy consumption in Denmark by 11%.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_10-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Danish electricity generation has become increasingly decentralised with a move away from production in the large central power stations to many smaller locally based and mostly CHP stations.

The heating and cooling sector (also known as the thermal sector) includes domestic heating and air conditioning, industrial processes such as furnaces and any use of heat generally. The next largest share is the transport sector at 33.6%, followed by the electricity sector at 19.8%. Total annual energy consumption is projected to be 16.4 megatonnes of oil equivalent (191 TWh) by 2020. In order to meet Denmark's overall target for 30% use of renewable energy in Gross final energy consumption, projected to 4.9 Mtoe (57 TWh), by 2020 (it was 17% in 2005) targets have been set for each sector. Renewable energy use is expected to be 39.8% in the heating and cooling sector, 51.9% in the electricity sector and 10.1% in the transport sector. </p><p>The energy measures above are gross final energy consumption. Another broader measure, <a href="/wiki/Primary_energy" title="Primary energy">primary energy</a> consumption also includes energy used in the extraction of fuels (the energy sector) and energy lost in transformation (the transformation sector, i.e. converting heat to electricity in power plants or fuel energy to heat in heating plants) as well as gross final energy consumption for end users. In 2013 Denmark's total final energy consumption was 607 petajoules (169 TWh) whilst its primary energy consumption was 763 petajoules (212 TWh).<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most of the approximately 25% difference is accounted for in losses in the transformation sector. These losses are likely to be most prevalent in <a href="/wiki/Thermal_power_station" title="Thermal power station">thermal electricity</a> sectors, thus the use of renewable electricity will reduce CO<sub style="font-size: 80%;vertical-align: -0.35em">2</sub> emissions and fuels lost in the energy and transformation sectors as well as those in final consumption.

Offshore wind power has been growing in importance, rising from 19.1% of total wind production in 2007 to 34.5% of production by 2014.

Occasionally electricity prices turn negative for producers when there is a glut of electricity production and lack of demand abroad as well.

As wind production rises the problem of too much electricity being generated will also give rise to new challenges and solutions. Electric heating and cooling can also be used in the form of more efficient <a href="/wiki/Heat_pump" title="Heat pump">heat pumps</a> to mop up excess electricity supply.
