6 FAQs about [Faroe Islands leader energy group]

Are the Faroe Islands a sustainable country?

Did you know that the Faroe Islands is one of the world’s leading nations in producing sustainable electricity with over 50% of the nation’s electricity deriving from renewable energy sources? There is no shortage of renewable power in the Faroe Islands, due to the ocean currents and tides of the Northeast Atlantic and an abundance of strong wind.

How is energy produced in the Faroe Islands?

In the Faroe Islands, energy is produced primarily from hydro and wind power, with oil products being the main energy source. Mostly consumed by fishing vessels and sea transport.

How many wind farms are there in the Faroe Islands?

Furthermore, external suppliers operate one wind farm and one biomass plant. Total installed capacity in the Faroe Islands is 163 MW and total power generation in 2019 was 386 GWh. Max demand was 63.1 MW in November 2020. In 2018, 49% of power generation came from renewable sources, i.e. hydro and wind power, respectively.

Should the Faroe Islands be self-sufficient?

Isolated in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands need to be self sufficient in terms of electricity generation as the Faroese electrical grid is not interconnected to neighbouring countries. SEV operates six hydro power plants, three thermal power plants, three wind farms and one solar power plant.

Can the Faroe Islands import or export electricity?

The Faroe Islands cannot import or export electricity since they are not connected by power lines with continental Europe. Per capita annual consumption of primary energy in the Faroe Islands was 67 MWh in 2011, almost 60% above the comparable consumption in continental Denmark.

Why are the Faroe Islands buried underground?

Due to extreme weather conditions and lack of interconnections, the Faroe Islands experience one to three total blackouts annually, a ratio higher than that of continental Europe. Most of the powerlines have therefore been buried underground as cables for better protection and improving grid stability.
