edit: Sorry - I missed your last sentence on first reading - so yes it's taxes. Danmark is a huge outlier in terms of how much it taxes household electricity consumption. Including VAT, nearly 70% of a Danish household electricity is tax. Non-households are taxed much more lightly. This is a policy decision I guess to encourage more efficient utilisation. But the actual wholesale cost of electricity in Denmark is very low because of their use of cheap wind power. I don't have anything more up-to-date than this[1] which is for 2019 but the second page shows a bar graph where the level of tax on household electricity is shown.
