Various private small-scale power-installations are not identified in this study. This is because such power-installation are islanded private solutions that have no interactions with
Hydrogen storage makes the best use of the solar power generated in the summer by reducing fall, winter, and spring diesel use. Future hydrogen feasibility studies for Arctic communities should also consider using hydrogen as a fuel for producing heat in a boiler or oil-space heater.
When solar panels produce more energy than the residents and companies can use, Greenland will need to limit their production; Without flexible power consumption or energy storage, there will be a loss of electricity
Because the houses are mainly used in the summer season, some of the owners have started experimenting with solar panels, heat pumps and windmills for energy. Most of the energy and heating can be provided using these installations, which ensures that otherwise derelict places are used and maintained on a regular basis.
Peter Vesborg is a professor at DTU Physics, where he researches catalytic conversion and storage of energy as well as solar cells, and storage of solar energy. As a child, Peter built his first electric solar panel and as a PhD project he made photocatalytic energy storage (artificial photosynthesis).
NOTE: This blog was originally published in April 2023, it was updated in August 2024 to reflect the latest information. Even the most ardent solar evangelists can agree on one limitation solar panels have: they only produce electricity when
When solar panels produce more energy than the residents and companies can use, Greenland will need to limit their production; Without flexible power consumption or energy storage, there will be a loss of electricity from solar cells, as well as an economic loss for the owners of solar cells
Main technologies considered for this study are solar PV, onshore wind power, water electrolysers with hydrogen storage, and e-fuel synthesis units. A weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 7% was assumed across all scenarios.

The pilot project, which is the first to test hybrid energy supply in Greenland, aims at finding an alternative, green energy source to supply electricity to Greenland''s settlements. The power plant consists of 400 sun cell
Hybrid power plants are reshaping Greenland''s energy landscape for the better. Following the project''s launch, Nukissiorfiit established hybrid power plants, which combine solar cells and battery banks, across the island. These were put into operation in key locations, including Ammassivik in the south and Ikerassaarsuk in the west.

The pilot project, which is the first to test hybrid energy supply in Greenland, aims at finding an alternative, green energy source to supply electricity to Greenland''s settlements. The power plant consists of 400 sun cell panels and 68 small wind turbines as well as a battery to store excess energy.
The grid in Greenland is run by the multifunctional utility, Nukissiorfiit, which has hired the Danish Energy Association as a consultant to analyse which technical adaptations that are needed in order to use solar energy without compromising electrical security

In this work we investigate potential solar feasibility in Greenland using the village of Qaanaaq, Greenland as a case study to demonstrate several optimized energy scenarios. 1.1. Alternative energy in the arctic Both wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) are mature technologies.
Alternative energy in the arctic Both wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) are mature technologies. Despite being mature, use of solar PV in Greenland on a community scale is limited.
Even without a change in the one-price model, government investment in solar energy for communities around Greenland will lower Nukissiorfiit’s dependence on fossil fuel which would help to reduce the associated large ongoing deficits incurred by Nukissiorfiit . Table 8. Annual cost savings in USD/ Year for Solar–BES–diesel hybrid scenarios.
Solar power is not widely used in the far north of Greenland. Therefore, there is little comparison for costs of panels, transportation, and installation. In Sarfannguit, Greenland, PV prices were estimated at 2800 USD/kW in 2014 . In the Canadian Arctic, panel price estimates have exceeded 5000 USD/kW in 2019 and 2020 , .
Dramatic and ongoing reductions in the cost of solar energy and battery storage combined with copious sunlight for seven months of the year suggest that solar and storage could play an important role in reducing costs and dependence on fossil fuels in Greenland and elsewhere in the far north.
Our calculations in this initial feasibility study show that inclusion of solar energy and battery energy storage may increase resilience and save money associated with electricity generation small communities in remote areas of northwest Greenland.
