Storage power plants Faroe Islands
After taking a dip in the early 1990s the electricity production in the Faroe Islands has steadily been on the rise since then, going from 174 GWh in 1995 to 434 GWh in 2022, mostly from oil and hydropower. The employed 154 people or 0.6% of the islands' total workforce as of November 2015. The islands have 4 diesel plants (around 100 MW and supplying ),.

Where does electricity come from in the Faroe Islands?
Electricity on the Faroe Islands comes from several different renewable energy sources. Hydroelectric power plants are one of them.
What is the energy potential of the Faroe Islands?
Faroe Islands exhibit high wind and hydro potential. Electricity, heating and onshore transportation needs are considered in this work. RES annual penetration higher than 90% can be achieved. Wind parks, p/vs and pumped storage systems are the most feasible technologies. RES penetration above 95% requires smart grid integration concepts.
How many hydroelectric plants are on the Faroe Islands?
Five of the plants are connected to the main electrical grid on the Faroe Islands, while the Botnur plant on Suðeroy only serves that one island. The Botnur plant was the first hydroelectric power plant that was built on the Faroes. It is still running and has two turbines, a 1.1 MW and a 2.2 MW.
How can the Faroe Islands decarbonize electricity production?
Additionally, a central focus area for decarbonizing the electricity production on the Faroe Islands is to store energy through a “pump to storage system”, while pumping water from the mountain to another dam. The storage system is using extra energy from wind turbines in the form of hydroelectric energy.
How much electricity is renewable in the Faroe Islands?
In the Faroe Islands, more than 80% of the power for the main grid was renewable on 50 days in 2022. The municipality-owned company SEV is the main electricity supplier, providing approximately 90% of the total production, with private producers contributing the remaining percentage.
What's new at the Sund power plant in Faroese?
MAN Energy Solutions has completed the expansion of the Sund power plant near Tórshavn, the Faroese capital. With this, four MAN 9L51/60 engines have been successfully integrated into the islands' hybrid energy-system and will complement the existing power station with an additional 37 MW power generation, as well as district heating capacity.
