Ahead of her visit, Simson hailed Denmark for being at the forefront of the EU’s clean energy transition. She said Denmark is an example for others to follow. “I am looking forward to seeing the transformation of the energy sector in practice in Esbjerg and Avedøre. My visit will also be an opportunity to discuss the European Green Deal with civil society and stakeholders, and a chance to explore how innovative Danish ‘cleantech’ can support further decarbonisation of the energy sector,” Simson said.
