The Faroe Islands have a high potential of renewable energy resources with e.g. an average annual wind speed of 10 m/s and a precipitation of up to 3000 mm/year in some places. solar panels and pumped storage systems, in order to reach a 100% renewable electricity

Energy scenarios for the Faroe Islands: A MCDA methodology

Different technical scenarios were developed for the Faroe Islands based on the goal of achieving 100% green electrical energy production by 2030 along with greater electrification of transport, industry and heating. This section describes the key characteristics of these scenarios and some of the main energy system-related assumptions.

Heat pumps, electric cars and renewable energy production in the Faroe

They investigated not only about data acquisition systems for renewable production and energy efficiency, but also about the installation of solar panels in their building. Apart from that, partners from Umhvørvisstovan have attended all the SECURE Steering Committee Meetings and held one of these in Tórshavn (Faroe Islands) in May 2018.

Renewable energy systems on islands or in remote locations

With the strong price difference for solar panels and battery storage systems, this mixed solution offers opportunities even for financially weaker islands. Worldwide, renewable energies score with low marginal costs, zero emissions and, in the long term, significantly lower electricity prices - not only on islands but also on the mainland.
