High power prices, 112 restored and shop threatened

Monday 9 November 2026 will be a grey day in Nordjylland with temperatures between five and eight degrees, resulting in high electricity prices. The 112 emergency number is working again on Læsø after a technical fault in the fibre network has been fixed. In Brønderslev, the municipality is threatening the discount chain Big Dollar Store with a police report, and in Aars construction continues even though the building permit has become invalid.

Grey Monday brings high electricity prices

Monday in week 46 will be mainly overcast, with a chance of a few local showers. The wind will come from a southerly and southeasterly direction, but it will be weak and light, so in many places it will feel completely calm, and temperatures will fluctuate between five and eight degrees.

The grey and calm weather also means that the electricity price will be high again on Monday, because the darkness and reduced wind mean less energy from solar panels and wind turbines. According to the electricity company Andel Energi, Monday's electricity price will peak between 17:00 and 18:00, when it will reach over seven kroner per kilowatt-hour. TV 2 Nord

112 is working again on Læsø

Residents of Læsø experienced problems calling 112 on Sunday – the emergency number to call in case of fire or urgent need for medical assistance – due to a technical fault in the fibre network. The police stated this on Sunday at 17.50. Instead, residents were asked to contact the ambulance station at Byrum Hovedgade 19 or the fire station at Byrum Hovedgade 10 in person.

Nordjyllands Politi said on Sunday evening at 21.48 on Politi Update that TDC had fixed the technical fault, so the 112 phone line is again available to everyone on the island. TV 2 Nord

Municipality threatens retail chain with police report

In the Big Dollar Stores discount chain’s shop on Jernaldervej in Brønderslev, the shelves range from frying pans to Christmas decorations, but items such as dog food, toothpaste, cleaning products and other everyday goods also fill up the store. Twice, the Planning Appeals Board – a board that handles complaints about municipal planning and construction cases – has ruled that the shop has too many everyday goods on its shelves.

Brønderslev Municipality, the local authority for the area, believes that the shop is not complying with an order to restrict the sale of everyday goods, and the municipality now threatens the chain with a police report. The chairman of Brønderslev Municipality’s technical and environment committee says he expects the business to comply with the decision, and that a police report may be the next step if it does not.

Construction in Aars continues despite invalid permit

The apartment complex 'Oasen' is, according to the plans, to be built at the water tower in Aars from 24 November. The project initially received a building permit at the beginning of the year, but the permit is now invalid because the Planning Appeals Board has ruled that the development ratio has not been observed. This is apparent from a decision by Nævnenes Hus, which TV 2 Nord has seen. According to the local plan, the development ratio may be 65 percent in addition to the area of the water tower itself, but the board concludes that the water tower's area must be included in the 65 percent.

The construction is to consist of 32 apartments, two terraced houses, a shared house in the old water tower with an elevator and a walkway. The developer refuses to halt the work, even though there has been no clarification of the project's size, and says that construction will continue « at full speed » as long as there is no stay of execution. Vesthimmerlands Kommune is to hold a meeting with the developer on Monday morning, and the chair of the Technical, Environmental and Climate Committee says that the municipality has not yet taken a position on whether this is an error.
