Side note: From a Danish point of view, the price level for offshore wind you've been agreeing to in the UK has seemed... very high. Of course, location etc. is different, but still. There was a single offshore wind farm in Denmark in

That seemed high to me. Looking at the financial statement for Q1 2017, AWS is 3,661 million USD in net sales out of 35,714 million in net sales overall. I don't know if Q1 is unusual but this is around 10% for AWS.

I have not been through a divorce, but if you can settle things amicably, I fail to see why a divorce should be expensive. What's difficult is splitting things up. Not just the things but also children and the place you live. You have

What happens is that you get crazy plans like this: http://cphpost.dk/news/denmark-looking-into-building-north-s... In a couple of decades, I think the North Sea is going have vast areas full of wind turbines.

I think in many places, gas peakers are already available. In the long run, we're probably going to need to do something else, but who knows where storage tech is in twenty years? In Denmark, home of the biggest wind power companies, t

Yeah, I remembered it as 4 turbines, but it looks like it's 5. So as I said, it's a test farm. But yes, it's real, production-size turbines, not small scale models. I should have clarified that, sorry. I don't think anyo

Without floating foundations, offshore depends a lot on the specifics of the oceanbed. But DONG Energy, which I think is the world biggest developer of offshore wind, recently gave a bid on a subsidy of zero for a farm near Germany. Final i

There are efforts underway to develop floating foundations, but I believe it's still in the test phase with only a few turbines deployed.

Demand is not stable so you still need energy storage or something else to fill the peaks. The only alternative is not running the plant at full capacity, which will make it even more expensive. Less space: that's true. But you still n

While decommissioning is indeed expensive and as far as I'm aware still mostly based on estimates since there's little experience with the full process, I don't think this statement is correct. What's really, really expe

Traditional nuclear plants are simply too expensive to build. They are not competitive, and haven't been for decades if I'm not mistaken. It's not impossible that a new design could be cheaper, but figuring in both developmen

Ah, REST. An API is there because someone in the other end wants to do something. If you don't design it but just slap REST on top of your data, then you're not doing that person a favour.

It's about 70%. If you only count the electricity specific taxes, it's around 50%. Fresh numbers from todays elpris.dk - øre = Danish cents (yes, they are called ears). Cost of production: 26,05 øre/kWh Transmission: 35,19 ør
