Abstract
Prior to the Russian aggression on Ukraine, Denmark�s dependency on Russian energy imports stood at 21.1%. Denmark had one of the EU�s lowest gas import dependencies with only 4% of its total energy consumption covered by Russian gas. Denmark�s strong wind power sector, along with domestic reserves of fossil fuels resulted in a high level of self-sufficiency, reaching 60% in 2022. In comparison to many other EU Member States, Denmark faced fewer challenges in diversifying its energy imports away from Russia. As a result, the impact of the EU�s energy sanction packages against Russia on the Danish energy sector was relatively low, with more immediate effects observed in the substitution of Russian coal and wood pellets.
