Denmark Slashes Electricity Tax to EU Minimum to Boost Green Transition and Ease Household Costs

Denmark will temporarily reduce its electricity tax to the EU minimum level (0.8 øre/kWh) from 2026 to 2027 to support green transition and ease financial pressure on households and businesses.
The reduction mainly benefits households, municipalities, non-profits, and other VAT-restricted entities, providing significant cost relief.
Fully VAT-deductible businesses will see minimal impact, as they can already reclaim most of the electricity tax.
A temporary reimbursement scheme for electricity used at charging stations will continue until the end of 2030, supporting electric vehicle infrastructure.
Businesses installing solar panels and charging stations may face additional tax obligations depending on how the systems are configured.
