It's the goodnewsnetwork, so it's not likely to be PR. It's just a news network that covers what the editors perceive to be good news. I just recently happened across an investment brochure for wood pellets (produced in Germany). The projected returns are pretty good, and the brochure definitely marketed them as "green" (renewable and carbon-neutral (if you plant enough new trees), local (if you consume them locally)). I don't read Danish, but surely the power company will at some point be able to provide information on what percentage of their fuel (in the last year) was municipal waste and what part was e.g. "biofuel". Speculating just based on the amount of waste produced in Copenhagen (or Denmark) and the power plant's capacity doesn't appear very fruitful to me, because if your plant is capable of handling municipal waste and has more capacity than available waste, you could just as well import waste from other countries and turn that into electricity. (Depending on distance, burning pellets may of course be cheaper, as they have more energy per cubic meter. But pellets cost money, and treating waste for others makes money)
