About
The electricity sector is relatively important in Denmark. It is subject to constant change because of the development of alternative energy sources and practices. The sector is known for its traditionally high representativeness of the social partners and a high level of collective agreement coverage.
Sectoral properties
Economic background
The size of employment in the sector, as a percentage of total employment is0.3%. This is not impressive however, there is a lot of focus on the sector in Denmark because of the possibility of exporting ‘green solutions’, and many companies tend to choose energy sources which use less CO2, if possible. The economic downturn did not have a significant effect on the electricity sector in Denmark.
Sectoral coverage
This representativeness study covers companies and employees in the electricity sector, as defined by NACE Rev. 2 code 35.1:
35.1 Electric power generation, transmission and distribution
35.11 Production of electricity
35.12 Transmission of electricity
35.13 Distribution of electricity
35.14 Trade of electricity

2. Overview of the industrial relations landscape in the sector
3. The sector’s trade unions and employers associations
This report includes detailed information on the following trade unions and employer associations:
(i) trade unions (or employees’ interest organisations) and employer organisations (or business associations) which are affiliated to the sector-related European Union Federation(s) or the sector-related European Employer/Business Federation(s) and represent members in the sector
The sector-related European employee organisations are:
• IndustriAll Europa;
• European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU).
The sector-related European employer organisations are:
• The union of the electricity industry (EURELECTRIC).
(ii) trade unions and employer organisations which are party to sector-related collective bargaining and represent members in the sector.
This report does not include detailed information on the following organisations, because they fall outside the remit of the study:
iii) Affiliates to EU-level sectoral social partners, but without members in the sector. These are the affiliates of EPSU and IndustriAll Europa that have members in other sectors but not in the electricity sector. Use these weblinks for a full list of the IndustriAll affiliates and EPSU affiliates.
iv) Organisations which are involved in sector-related collective bargaining, but do not represent members in the sector.
v) Organisations which represent members in the sector, but are not involved in sector-related collective bargaining, and are not members of EU-level sectoral social-partner organisations.
3a. Please list all the organisations which can be related to the study in the following overview table

4. Collective bargaining in the electricity sector
4.1. Are employees in the sector as defined in Section 1 above and in Table 1 covered by collective bargaining?
Yes
4.2. If yes, please consider the five main relevant* collective agreements (single-employer and multi-employer agreements) valid in 2012 in the electricity sector and indicate their levels, the name of the agreements, respective coverage in terms of sectors/activities, the bargaining parties to the agreement and the numbers of employees covered within the electricity sector (also estimate):
| Table 3: The five main relevant* collective agreements (single-employer and multi-employer agreements) valid in 2012 Level | Common name | Sectoral coverage | No. of employees covered within the electricity sector | Bargaining parties | |

The Industry Agreement |
Manufacturing industry and energy supply - overlapping (covers the electricity sector and more) |
Approx 8,000 |
DI |
CO-industri |
* Relevance is measured in terms of employees covered.
5. The system of collective bargaining
5.1. Estimate the sector’s rate of collective bargaining coverage (i.e. the ratio of the number of employees covered by any kind of collective agreement to the total number of employees in the sector).
75%
All large companies are members of DI and, as such, their employees are covered by the agreement between DI and CO-industri. KL is a public employer and coverage in the public sector is close to 100%
5.2. Estimate the relative importance of multi-employer agreements and of single-employer agreements as a percentage of the total number of employees covered.
There are very few single-employer agreements, if any. DI’s agreement is a multi-employer agreement and KL’s agreement is a public (one-employer) sector agreement in the municipalities
5.2.1. Is there a practice of extending multi-employer agreements to employers who are not affiliated to the signatory employer association/s?
No
5.2.2. If there is a practice of extending collective agreements targeting employers, is this practice pervasive or rather limited and exceptional?
6. Formulation and implementation of sector-specific public policies
6.1. Do tripartite bodies dealing with sector-specific issues exist? If yes, please indicate their domain of activity (for instance, health and safety, equal opportunities, labour market, social security and pensions etc.), their origin (agreement/statutory) and the interest organisations having representatives in them.
