The work in this paper assesses the environmental, social, technical and economic concerns of different energy scenarios on the Faroe Islands and provides a ranking of solutions through the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and
The Hestfjord Dragon Farm is a first-of-a-kind tidal energy array with Minesto Dragon 12 kites with a total capacity of 10 MW in the first phase. In the Faroe Islands, Minesto is part of one of the most ambitious energy transition schemes worldwide, where tidal energy can play a significant role in achieving 100% renewable energy by 2030.
Minesto''s suggested roadmap includes tidal energy buildout in seven site locations in Faroe Island waters, reaching a total of 200 MW equivalent to about 40% of future energy demand.

Faroe Islands, an isolated archipelago in the North Atlantic Sea, have ambitious goals for a bright green energy future. By year 2030 the Faroe Islands aim for 100% green electrical energy. Due to its favourable site conditions, the islands are surrounded by renewable energy in the form of hydro, wind, tides and waves, and to a certain extent

In the Faroe Islands, Minesto is part of one of the world''s most ambitious energy transition schemes. Collaborating with the electric utility company SEV, Minesto is working to pave the way for tidal energy to become a core part of the Faroese energy mix, allowing them to reach 100% renewable energy by 2030.
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 DISTRIBUTION. This app, developed by SEV, shows the energy distribution on the mainland. The mainland includes all islands except Fugloy, Mykines, Koltur, Skúvoy, Stóra Dímun and Suðuroy. The mainland accounts for approximately 90% of the electricity energy in the Faroe Islands. Electricity is produced by oil-, water- and wind energy.
It is a testament to how the Faroe Islands and its sole energy provider SEV are thinking holistically about innovation and intelligently managing energy production and use through activating EVs, heat pumps, and electric vehicle fleets as parts of the island''s energy strategy. The ambitious energy goals in the islands'' comprehensive strategy include becoming 100% reliant on
A number of researchers have studied the conversion of the Faroe Islands'' energy system to renewable sources. These studies looked at a single island [54] or more broadly [51, 53] and their primary focus was on the techno-economic optimization of the new system. This paper expands upon previous research by including district heating in energy

This project is part of a larger aim for the Faroe Islands to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030. According to Minesto, after successful pilot runs with Dragon 12 and Dragon 4 kites connected to the power grid, the company is moving forward with the first 10 MW phase of the Hestfjord Dragon Farm, marking a milestone in a potential 200 MW
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. With an existing network of hydropower from mountain streams and lakes, converting other sources of natural power into affordable green energy is a top priority.

Actual and potential sources of renewable energy are plentiful in the Faroe Islands: hydropower, wind and tidal power. The Faroe Islands is one of the leading nations regarding sustainable production of electricity with some 50 % coming from renewable energy sources. A new interesting development is the installation of the first experimental
The Faroe Islands, like all other countries in this part of the world, are undergoing a green transition in energy production and energy use. Formally, the process began with a unanimous decision in the Faroese parliament in 2009, which committed the future governors to an energy policy that by 2020 would reduce total CO2-emissions by 20%
A number of researchers have studied the conversion of the Faroe Islands’ energy system to renewable sources. These studies looked at a single island or more broadly [ 51, 53] and their primary focus was on the techno-economic optimization of the new system.
Electricity on the Islands is currently produced through a combination of fossil (about 100 MW) and renewable sources (about 62 MW) . Fig. 1. Placing the Faroe Islands, inset in red [ 50 ]. Space heating on the islands is primarily from oil burners and in 2016 made up 24% of the imported oil usage [ 51 ].
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.
The key innovations of this paper for islands, and global energy transition planning, are: The central incorporation of social perspectives into the energy planning for the Faroe Islands via explicit elicitation of criteria weights of local stakeholders.
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.
The Island's power company, SEV, has a stated goal of achieving a “100% green electrical energy onshore by 2030.” Furthermore, there are incentives in place to encourage Faroese consumers to purchase heat pumps and electric vehicles while the district heating system is also being expanded [ 53 ].
