  • Power and diesel prices heading for nearly two-year high

    The electricity price on Monday evening is the highest level in almost two years, when the price exceeds seven kroner per kilowatt-hour. The energy company OK writes this in a press release Monday morning.

    According to Troels Skipper, commercial director at OK, the high electricity price is due to a combination of rising gas prices and a lack of wind and solar energy.

    “Right now, we are in the unfortunate situation where the high gas price pushes the electricity price up along with it. And unfortunately, we do not get enough electricity production from wind turbines and solar cells to push the price the other way,” he said.

    The last time the hourly price was at around seven DKK per kilowatt-hour was in December 2024.

    Also, Diesel prices in Denmark rose to a record high on Monday, reaching 19.19 kroner per litre after an increase of 20 øre, according to FDM, the Danish motorists’ association. Petrol prices also increased by 40 øre per litre. FDM consumer economist Ilyas Dogru said the increases followed the weekend’s escalation in the war involving the United States, Iran and Israel.


  • Autumn week starts dry, turns to rain showers

    Denmark is set for a week of changing autumn weather, with periods of rain, sunshine and mild temperatures, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute, DMI.

    Monday began cool, particularly in central Jutland, where temperatures fell to between 6 and 8 degrees.

    “The temperature is down to 6-8 degrees, so if you are going out cycling, you can clearly feel that autumn has arrived,” DMI duty meteorologist Jesper Eriksen told Ritzau.

    The rest of Monday is expected to remain dry, with a mix of sunshine and clouds. Temperatures will reach between 15 and 18 degrees, with light to moderate winds from the west.

    ### Tuesday to be warmest day

    Tuesday is expected to be the warmest day of the week.

    Winds will turn to the south, bringing slightly warmer air over Denmark and pushing temperatures to between 17 and 21 degrees.

    There will be periods of sunshine, although some rain is possible, particularly in Jutland.

    More rain is expected to reach Jutland later Tuesday afternoon before moving east during the evening and overnight.

    Wednesday will bring some sunshine but also showers.

    Temperatures are expected to fall back to between 15 and 18 degrees, while winds will turn west again.

    Thursday and Friday are expected to bring periods of rain and showers, with temperatures remaining between 15 and 18 degrees.

    Winds from the west and southwest are also expected to strengthen gradually toward the end of the week.

    Eriksen said the week would not be particularly cold despite the unsettled weather.

    “In the week as a whole, you will not need the really warm clothes, but in periods you will need rainwear and rubber boots,” he said.

    It remains unclear whether September will bring another spell of warmer weather later in the month.

    “We will have to see what happens, whether the last spasms with some warmth arrive. It is not decided yet,” Eriksen said.


  • Record number of schools opt out of PISA study

    More than half of the Danish schools that were selected for the latest Pisa survey declined to participate. In total, 398 schools were drawn for the survey. Of those, 215 chose not to participate, writes Kristeligt Dagblad.

    When a selected school chooses to decline, a reserve school could step in. In advance, two reserve schools had been designated for each of the drawn schools.

    Therefore, a total of 283 schools ended up participating in the survey. However, this is significantly fewer than in 2022, when 347 schools participated.

    According to Kristeligt Dagblad, the number also remains below the OECD’s “technical minimum requirement”.

    According to Monika Klingsbjerg-Besrechel, chief consultant at Statistics Denmark, which was responsible for the practical part of the survey, the many declines have not affected the quality of the survey.

    “Fortunately, we reached a higher response rate, but despite that, we were unfortunately still below the minimum requirement from the OECD. If we had not had the reserve schools, we really would have been in serious trouble,” she says to Kristeligt Dagblad.

    She points out that it was subsequently investigated whether the many declines had affected the result.


  • Silkeborg debuts as first host city for Royal Run 2027

    Danmarks Idrætsforbund (DIF) has announced Silkeborg as the first of five host cities for the 2027 edition of the Royal Run, making it the first time the Central Jutland city is on the bill for the event.

    “I am wildly happy about the news that we will be a host city for Royal Run in 2027, and I am looking forward very much to welcoming a public celebration in running shoes right in the middle of Silkeborg,” said the city’s mayor, Helle Gade.

    Thus, the run moves to the city that also brands itself under the name ‘Denmark’s Outdoor Capital’, something the mayor looks forward to showcasing.

    “Here in Søhøjlandet we have a unique setting for both participants and spectators with hilly landscapes, great viewpoints over the Silkeborg lakes, and an exciting city center where urban life and nature merge. I look forward to showcasing that.”

    In 2026, the host cities were Randers, Ringkøbing, Middelfart, Helsingør, and Copenhagen/Frederiksberg. This year, Denmark can expect new cities other than Silkeborg to join the Royal Run host club, with a new host city scheduled to be announced every day this week.

    The Royal Run offers three distances to run, including 1.6 kilometers (also known as one mile), five kilometers, and ten kilometers.

    The event first took place in 2018, when the then Crown Prince turned 50 years old. Since then, it has been held every year on Whit Monday.
    Last year, a record 112,450 runners participated.
