The Faroe Islands have vast wind resources, ideal for wind turbines. Thus, onshore wind is normally viewed as the main technology to generate renewable energy on the islands. However, due to the limited size of the islands, there are not many suitable locations for placing wind turbines in a manner where they do not disturb nearby inhabitants.
Energy in the Faroe Islands
SummaryOverviewElectricityOil consumptionGovernment energy policySee alsoExternal links
Energy in the Faroe Islands is produced primarily from imported fossil fuels, with further contributions from hydro and wind power. Oil products are the main energy source, mainly consumed by fishing vessels and sea transport. Electricity is produced by oil, hydropower and wind farms, mainly by SEV, which is owned by all the municipalities of the Faroe Islands. The Faroe Islands are not connected by power lines with continental Europe, and thus the archipelago can
