Denmark is not only the birthplace of the modern wind industry and the original FIT policy concept, but also the pioneer of a bold national target to achieve 100% RE by 2050 in the power, heating, and transportation sectors. And they are well on their way. The screenshot shows that the country is well on its way. On 25th Jan, 99% electricity in Denmark came from wind turbines: 4.112 MW wind production and 4.156 MW electricity consumption. 

As one can see from this website of current power production (http://energinet.dk/Flash/Forside/UK/index.html), the Danes publish a real-time overview of their power sector broken down into the categories of central power stations, cogeneration (local CHP), and wind turbines. Add those three together and subtract electricity consumption, and you get the net power exchange.
