A number of district heating companies have already warned that they will be raising their prices next year as a result of rising energy prices.
Danish broadcaster TV2 reports that ten companies have already announced planned price hikes of between six and ten percent.
District heating is common in Danish cities, and essentially means that water is heated in a central heating plant before being sent out to individual properties, rather than each property having its own individual boiler or other heating source.
These district heating plants are reliant on biofuels, gas, oil and electricity, which means high energy prices also push up the price of district heating.
In Præstø, southern Zealand, the local district heating company has warned that it will have to raise its prices by as much as 40 percent next year, after cutting prices two years in a row.
The company, Præstø Fjernvarme, is transitioning over to producing heating with electricity but its chair Morten Møller Christensen told TV2 that it has been "forced to go back to gas" due to a lack of capacity.
A number of district heating companies are yet to publish their fees for 2027, so its possible that more could raise their prices.
