SEV and Faroe Islands see impressive sustainable energy gains
To meet this challenge, the Faroese utility installed the Hitachi Energy e-meshTM PowerStoreTM battery energy storage system (BESS), a 6.25 MW / 7.45 MWh battery that provides full backup for the Porkeri Wind Farm on the archipelago''s southernmost island, Suðuroy. The Hitachi Energy BESS installation is the largest of its kind on the Faroe

grids in the Faroe Islands are modelled, and input data such as weather and projected demand are defined. The model is allowed to invest in wind, solar and tidal power, in addition to pumped storage systems and transmission capacity. The results show that if the least-cost path to a 100% renewable electricity
(PDF) 100% Sustainable Electricity in the Faroe Islands: Expansion
This historic data is obtained from every electricity meter in the Faroe Islands, Statistics Faroe Islands and the Faroese Vehicle Administration. It is assumed that 50% of the heating and transport sectors will be electrified in the year 2025 and 100% in 2030.
Tidal Dragon Farm in the Faroe Islands Moves Forward
In the Faroe Islands, Minesto is part of an ambitious energy transition scheme where tidal energy can play a significant role in achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030. After months of running a pilot program with two Minesto Dragon kites (Dragon 12 and Dragon 4) connected to the power grid, the technology has reached another milestone.
The Least-Cost Path to a 100% Renewable
The model is allowed to invest in wind, solar and tidal power, in addition to pumped storage systems. The results show that if the least-cost path to a 100% renewable electricity is followed, SEV should invest in 98 MW of wind power, 125 MW solar power, a battery system of 1.6 MW/6.7 MWh and a pumped storage system with a storage of 7.3 GWh.
Tidal farm with Dragon 12 technology advances in Faroe Islands
Minesto, a leader in ocean energy technology, is moving forward with the construction of the first tidal dragon farm in the Faroe Islands, a first-of-its-kind project. The site, located in the Hestfjord, features the innovative Dragon 12 energy kites, capable of generating a total of 10 MW in its first phase.

The impact of offshore energy hub and hydrogen integration on the Faroe
This study explores the integration of offshore wind energy and hydrogen production into the Faroe Islands'' energy system to support decarbonisation efforts, particularly focusing on the maritime sector. The EnergyPLAN model is used to simulate the impact of incorporating green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis, within a closed energy system.
Energy
The public energy company, SEV, was awarded the prestigious Nordic Environment Prize in 2015 for their ambitious goal to achieve 100% green electricity production in the Faroe Islands by 2030, as well as the creative nature of their efforts to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
