ABSTRACT
In Denmark, socio-technical struggles over which valuation frame to use as the basis for policy formulation illustrate that wind power has been subject to continuous political contestation. The assessment highlighted Denmark's 2012 Energy Agreement, which cemented a broad political compromise for reducing CO2 emissions through energy efficiency by combining electricity and heat generation and making wind power the core energy technology in the future low carbon energy system. Denmark's oil dependency was revealed during the 1973 oil crisis. The green think tank is headed by a former head of the Ministry of Finance during the 1990s that has been a key spokesperson for green transition policies. The smart energy system will become a battlefield as diverse actors seek to defend their existing positions; but more than likely, green realism will delay rather than derail the further transition towards a wind-oriented reconfiguration of the energy system assemblage.
