On 26 September three leaks were found on the gas lines Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2. It does not immediately affect the supply of gas to Europe and Denmark, as none of the pipelines were in operation.

The pipelines have been out of service after the Russian gas company Gazprom announced on Friday, 2 September, that due to technical problems, Nord Stream 1 was not reopened after keeping it closed due to maintenance.

It was a serious development that the gas supply was closed, but the message from the Danish Energy Agency was that Denmark had filled gas in the stocks and gas still flowed across national borders.

The Danish Energy Agency encourages all Danes to save energy, as security of supply will be under pressure during the heating.

Denmark's situation is robust because we ourselves produce part of our oil and have access to imports from the world market. But the authorities are of course following the situation closely and have plans ready should problems arise.

The authorities do not immediately expect to have problems securing oil, petrol and diesel, as it can be bought on the world market. But prices may go up.

Yes. On 18 May 2022, the Center for Cyber Security (CFCS) raised the threat level for cyber activism against Denmark from low to medium. This is a change in the level of threats compared to recent years.

The change comes in the wake of recent pro-Russian cyber-activist attacks on European NATO countries.

All Danes will feel a price increase on selected foods.

The energy crisis will cause the prices of meat and milk to rise.

The price increases are due to higher prices in the production of everything from energy, transport and raw materials. Part of this is directly linked to the war in Ukraine, which for example applies to grain, which has an impact on both the price of bread and feed for livestock production.

It is still too early to say how much prices will rise and when price increases will slow down.

It is not expected that there will be a shortage of food in the supermarkets in Denmark in the short or medium term, as there are strong supply chains and a large food production.
