Danish energy policy 1976

A plan for energy supplies in Denmark up to 1995, prepared by the Ministry of Commerce and Energy and presented to the Danish Parliament. Plans aim at achieving least possible dependence on oil through savings in energy consumption and changing from oil to other forms of energy. The main elements in the energy plans are the introduction of two new energy sources in Denmark, atomic power and natural gas, as well as the setting up of a ''heating plan'' to ensure optimal utilization of the available energy sources. Furthermore, weight is laid on carrying through savings in private consumption, in public institutions and in industry, and implementing a programme of expanded energy research and development. (B.P.)
