Green Revolution in the Falklands

There are now in excess of 100 x SD3 wind turbines on the islands, widely regarded as the largest off-grid small scale wind turbine fleet in the world - providing 24 hour power to over 85% of the islands farms and rural dwellings.

Power and Electrical Section

On average, just over 30% of Stanley''s power requirement is met by the Sand Bay wind farm. Three Enercon E-33 turbines make up the Mare Harbour wind farm, which came online in December 2014 and which generates power for Mount Pleasant Complex. The Power and Electrical Section operates and maintains both of these wind farms.

Falkland Island Case Study: Wind Turbines Installation

The turbine systems are backed up by a diesel generator and battery storage system to ensure continuous reliable power. Benefit The installation of the Proven/Kingspan wind turbines on the Falkland Islands has provided green, reliable, cost effective power. Previously power was produced from diesel generators which proved expensive.

Falklanders to reap wind energy -

The Falkland Islands could become the world''s first territory to be mainly powered by a revolutionary combination of wind power and electric car batteries. Seven wind turbines

40% wind energy in the Falklands

Falklands officials predict that the 6 wind turbines will displace 40% of imported fuel and supply 40% of total electricity generated on the Falkland Islands. The UK Government has a goal for 20% of electricity in the UK to come from renewable energy by 2020.

Energy Strategy Implementation Plan

• Installing 4.6 MW onshore renewable power (wind turbines) by 2030 • Installing 8 MWh of battery storage by 2030 • Building a new power station by 2025 • Upgrade power grid arrangements to maximise efficiency of power transmission and use • Developing a building standard to make all new homes thermally efficient so as to allow

Falklanders to reap wind energy -

The Falkland Islands could become the world''s first territory to be mainly powered by a revolutionary combination of wind power and electric car batteries. Seven wind turbines already provide the islands with more than half of their electricity needs. The rest is generated by costly diesel imported to power generators.

Falklands on the way to reduce fossil fuel consumption

An extension to the wind farm and up to 100% renewable energy production is in the works. A "global stocktake" at COP28 calls on Parties to triple renewable energy

An extension to the wind farm and up to 100% renewable energy production is in the works. A "global stocktake" at COP28 calls on Parties to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency

Falklands will proceed with Phase Three of Sand Bay Wind Farm

Their turbines offer the opportunity for the close control of the power output allowing high wind power penetration and resilience for our small, isolated power network.

4 FAQs about [Falkland Islands storage batteries for wind turbines]

Does the Falklands need a new wind farm?

But the Falklands feel it is not enough and besides the current wind farm is reaching its renewal date. No wonder then that notice has been given of the planning applications submitted for the Farm Expansion of Sand Bay Wind Farm to include 3 by E70 Enercon wind energy converters and battery storage. FIG and c/o Glenn figure as the applicant.

How many 330KW wind turbines does Stanley have?

This consisted of three 330kW Enercon E-33 wind turbines. The immense success of this project meant that Phase 2 (a further three E-33 turbines and three flywheel storage systems) was commissioned and began contributing power to the grid in February 2010. On average, just over 30% of Stanley’s power requirement is met by the Sand Bay wind farm.

Who is responsible for wind turbine maintenance?

Maintenance of the wind turbines is shared amongst the mechanical and electrical staff. The power station can be contacted on 27149, or 27444 for out of hours emergencies.

Where can I find a plan for the Falkland Islands?

FIG and c/o Glenn figure as the applicant. The plans and details can be viewed at the Planning Office, Secretariat, Stanley and on the Falkland Islands Government Planning & Building Services Facebook page. Anyone wishing to comment on these applications must do so in writing, to the Planning Officer, by 2 February 2024.
