Correlation of wind and solar power in high-latitude arctic areas
This paper assesses the correlation between wind and solar power on different timescales in four different locations in Northern Norway and Svalbard. For all locations complementary characteristics of wind and solar power are found, however, the strength of the correlation is highly variable for each location and for the different timescales.

Testing out the power of solar energy in Svalbard,
Store Norske Energi, a state-owned energy company based in Longyearbyen, is testing whether solar energy could be used to transition Spitsbergen to emissions-free, hybrid energy. The company has installed 360 solar panels
Transitioning remote Arctic settlements to renewable energy
Large installed capacities of solar and wind as well as a full hydrogen value chain with both short- and long-term energy storage is necessary for a robust and reliable isolated energy system. Fig. 7 shows two examples of system operation in 2050 during a summer day (A) and a winter day (B), which illustrate well the trend seen across the
Testing out the power of solar energy in Svalbard, Norway
Store Norske Energi, a state-owned energy company based in Longyearbyen, is testing whether solar energy could be used to transition Spitsbergen to emissions-free, hybrid energy. The company has installed 360 solar panels along with a battery bank and thermal storage system at Isfjord Radio, an old shipping radio station.

5 FAQs about [Solar and wind energy Svalbard and Jan Mayen]
What is the difference between Svalbard and Jan Mayen?
Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean under the sovereignty of Norway, but is subject to the special status granted by the Svalbard Treaty. Jan Mayen is a remote island in the Arctic Ocean; it has no permanent population and is administered by the County Governor of Nordland.
Where are Svalbard and Jan Mayen located?
The islands are located north and northwest of Norway, within the southern limits of Arctic sea ice — the northernmost point of Svalbard is within a 620 mi (1,000 km) of the North Pole. Svalbard is approximately 24,570 square mi (63,000 square km); Jan Mayen is approximately 145 square mi (373 square km).
What is the Internet penetration rate in Svalbard and Jan Mayen?
The Internet penetration rate in Svalbard and Jan Mayen was 63.0 percent of the total population at the start of 2022. 66 percent of the population, or an additional 4.3 percent, used the internet between 2021 and 2022.
Do snowdrifts affect solar power plants in polar climates?
In this study we show that snowdrifts pose a significant challenge for solar power plants in Polar climates as they can grow to cover the plant, resulting in reduced power production and an imposed mechanical load on the PV arrays.
How polar climate affect bifacial solar power production?
The Polar climate have severable favourable characteristics for solar power production, namely the effect of increased solar cell voltage with decreasing temperature, and high-albedo providing significant amounts of ground-reflected irradiance which can be utilized by bifacial solar panels (Frimannslund et al., 2021).
