High electricity prices and a new promenade in Hou

Electricity prices in Østjylland and the rest of the country are the highest in years, and Sunday brings grey weather with a little rain. In Hou near Odder, work on a new promenade begins in week 48, and in Auning on Djursland, families with children can collect free Christmas presents this weekend.

Electricity prices at their highest since 2022

This week’s electricity prices are the highest since December 2022. This is 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 for the week.

The last time the electricity price reached a higher weekly average was in week 51 of 2022, when the electricity price for both parts of Denmark was 2,9 kr. per kilowatt-hour. Among other things, this week’s electricity prices can be attributed to the so-called dark doldrums, a period during which there is both low wind and solar power production. TV 2 Østjylland

Wine theft at restaurant in Aarhus

The wine cellar at the gourmet restaurant Frederikshøj in Aarhus was stripped of rare and expensive bottles late Wednesday evening. The thieves cut a 40-centimetre hole in a pane of reinforced glass, through which an adult person crawled.

Afterwards, they managed to crawl along the panel at a blind angle to the alarm sensors, and according to DR Nyheder Østjylland, the perpetrators got away with wine worth several hundred thousand kroner. The head chef calls the robbery 'a total Olsen Gang job'. DR Nyheder Østjylland
