Denmark's renewable power success masks lagging electrification and a looming political fight over prioritizing scarce grid capacity against data center demand.

• 70% 2030 target slipping: Independent Climate Council and CONCITO put odds of Denmark hitting its 70% emissions-cut target at ~1% under frozen policy, though Jensen says it's achievable with heat-pump conversions and gas phase-outs.
• Electrification lags badly: Jensen says Denmark is "40% of the way to 1930" electrification-wise but only "2% of the way" to where it needs to be, due to reliance on biomass/biogas.
