The Danish Energy Agency handles Denmark's interests in the energy and supply sectors in the EU and seeks to disseminate the Danish experience with the energy transition for the benefit of Danish export companies. The Danish Energy Agency's department for Global Counseling has established regulatory cooperation in 11 countries in addition to the USA. The Danish Energy Agencys advice enables the countries to prepare for a future with a greater energy requirement. This is done by making the countries' energy systems more efficient and by converting energy production into more renewable energy.
