Metro, off-peak power and extra concert

News overview 11 November 2026: Every third person does not take advantage of the cheap off-peak electricity hours, and on Frederiksberg, De Konservative want more regulation of rental bikes and electric scooters. At Copenhagen Central Station, there will be another 8 years of metro construction ahead, and singer Emma Sehested Høeg is giving an extra concert at Royal Arena.

Every 3rd person does not take advantage of cheap electricity hours

12 percent say that they rarely shift their electricity consumption to the cheapest times, and a further 12 percent never do. 9 percent do not know when electricity is typically cheapest, according to figures from the energy company NRGi.

With the recent high electricity prices, TV 2 Kosmopol says there is good reason to keep an eye on when electricity is cheapest if you want to save on your electricity bill. TV 2 Kosmopol

Frederiksberg wants to regulate rental bikes and scooters

The Conservatives at Frederiksberg City Hall propose that Frederiksberg Municipality (the local authority) approach the Ministry of Transport (the ministry for transport) to get more regulation of parking for rental bikes and scooters. The party dreams of an app that can determine where the rental vehicles may park.

An environment and transport spokesperson for the Conservatives at Frederiksberg says that the vehicles are often parked so that people in wheelchairs, with white canes or walkers are obstructed from getting around. DR Nyheder København
