Part of the Nordic MCP Toolkit — open-source MCP servers for Danish/Nordic data sources.
Features
- Electricity spot prices — hourly Elspot prices for DK1/DK2, with averages and ranges
- CO2 emissions — real-time emission intensity (g CO2/kWh) with 5-minute resolution
- Energy production mix — wind (offshore/onshore), solar, conventional, and cross-border exchange
- Cheapest hours — find optimal times for EV charging, laundry, heat pumps

Price Areas
Denmark is split into two electricity price areas:
- DK1 — Western Denmark (Jutland and Funen, west of Storebælt)
- DK2 — Eastern Denmark (Zealand, Lolland-Falster, Bornholm, east of Storebælt)
You can use area codes (DK1, DK2) or city/region names (Copenhagen, Aarhus, etc.).
Data Source
All data comes from Energi Data Service by Energinet, Denmark's transmission system operator. The API is free, requires no authentication, and provides real-time data with 5-minute resolution.
