DK1 is Western Denmark. It covers Jutland and Funen.
What is DK2?
DK2 is Eastern Denmark. It covers Zealand, Copenhagen, Bornholm, Lolland, Falster, and nearby islands.
Why are DK1 and DK2 electricity prices different?
DK1 and DK2 can have different prices because local supply, demand, wind production, imports, exports, and grid bottlenecks can be different in each area.
