Falklands will proceed with Phase Three of Sand Bay Wind Farm
Following approval from the Executive Council on Monday 27 November, the Falkland Islands Government will be able to proceed with "in principle approval" for Phase Three of the Sand Bay Wind Farm.
Falklands on the way to reduce fossil fuel consumption
As well as a solar energy pilot scheme at Sand Bay, there are plans to retrofit existing housing stock with more energy efficient measures. The department is recording data from the new houses to see which energy systems will work best in older properties.

ENERGY PROFILE Falkland Islands (Malvinas)
Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.
Falklands applies for expansion of wind farm which supplies 35
This has meant that 90% of households in Camp use energy derived from wind and solar power, while 35% of Stanley''s energy comes from wind power, mainly three eolic turbines at Sand Bay.
Power and Electrical Section
On average, just over 30% of Stanley''s power requirement is met by the Sand Bay wind farm. Three Enercon E-33 turbines make up the Mare Harbour wind farm, which came online in December 2014 and which generates power for Mount Pleasant Complex.

Stanley power station: How does it work?
Expanding on the concept of a "truly islanded network", Mr Ross said that the Orkney Islands and Samso, an island off the coast of Denmark, are used as examples of islands achieving peak renewable energy ratios, some sources even
3 FAQs about [Falkland Islands solar power inia]
Does the Falklands need a new wind farm?
But the Falklands feel it is not enough and besides the current wind farm is reaching its renewal date. No wonder then that notice has been given of the planning applications submitted for the Farm Expansion of Sand Bay Wind Farm to include 3 by E70 Enercon wind energy converters and battery storage. FIG and c/o Glenn figure as the applicant.
