The early development of solar technologies starting in the 1860s was driven by an expectation that coal would soon become scarce, such as experiments by . installed the world's first rooftop photovoltaic solar array, using 1%-efficient cells, on a New York City roof in 1884. However, development of solar technologies stagnated in the early 20th centu.

Solar power provided 1.4 TWh, or the equivalent of 4.3% or 3.6% of Danish electricity consumption in 2021. In 2018, the number was 2.8 percent. Denmark has lower solar insolation than many countries closer to Equator, but lower temperatures increase production. Modern solar cells decrease production by 0.25% per year. 2020

Sweden has a total of 16.4 GW of wind power capacity at the end of 2023, the 5th highest in Europe and most per capita. Wind power produced 20.9% of national electricity generation in 2023, up from 0.3% in 2000. In July 2024, the Swedish Wind Energy Association (SWEA) projected that cumulative wind power capacity in the country will rise to 19.5 GW by the end of 2026. Longer-term pr. Future developmentsThe 's (IEA) Wind Technology Collaboration Programme 2021 report outlines Sweden's progress in wind energy. By 2021, Sweden had achieved a total wind power capacity of 12.116 MW. .
