About us

What we’re about

At Danske Commodities, we trade energy across 40+ markets and deliver solutions for energy producers and large-scale consumers.

Our people work together to find value in everything we do and deliver it. For our partners. And for the energy system as a whole. Together with our parent company Equinor, we operate on a scale few trading houses can match.

Our organisation is flat with an open-door policy. We expect you to care. About your work. About your colleagues. And about the difference we make.

Aspiring chefs, beekeepers, runners, parents, gamers - we’re proud of our diversity of ideas. What binds us together is that we all find average genuinely uncomfortable and want to do something about it.

We’re big on trust and providing the freedom for you to thrive. Together, we’ll make sure you’ll be the best version of you. Because happy employees perform better and we’re in this for the long run. No matter the stage in life you’re in, we’ve got you.

Join us. You'll love Mondays.

A workplace like no other

In 2025, we moved into our new headquarters in the heart of Aarhus - a workplace built for the precision, focus and collaboration that define how we work. With state-of-the-art facilities, our own barista café, a modern fitness centre and views worth coming in for.

The Past, Present and Future of Power Trading

We’re zooming out to give you the big picture of how the production, supply and consumption of power has changed radically over the past 50 years. You’ll be guided through the liberalisation of the energy markets, the rise of renewables and the impact of automation and digitalisation by our in-house experts Andreas Schwarz Knudsen, Head of Commercial Business Development, and Peter Fritsche, who was among the first traders in the liberalised markets and now heads Danske Commodities’ team for Central- and West European Power Markets trading.
