The closure is from Monday 9 November to Monday 23 November and applies to both cars and bicycles. A detour will be established. TV MIDTVEST

Electricity prices are the highest in 4 years

The electricity price last week is at its highest level since December 2022, according to the electricity company Norlys in a press release. The pure electricity price reached 1.8 kr. per kilowatt-hour in West Denmark and 2 kr. per kilowatt-hour in East Denmark. The explanation is to be found in the grey and calm weather, with both low wind and solar energy production; the phenomenon is called a 'Dunkelflaute'.

Lower production from wind turbines and solar panels means that gas-fired power plants must supply more electricity. The war in Ukraine and the war in the Middle East have contributed to pushing up gas prices. TV MIDTVEST and TV MIDTVEST
