You refer to 2019 when renewables gave 50% of Danish power.

> Also, Denmark relies on Sweden (who utilize nuclear power a lot) and Norway to provide power when renewables are not providing enough power

Yes, but the capacity for import and export is limited. Despite these limitations Denmark has managed to run on 65% wind power in 2020 without breaking the grid.

Thanks to COVID19 we get a look at the future in terms of how much of electricity production renewables can handle.
