Abstract/Summary

The Faroe Islands form a group of 18 islands located in the North Atlantic at 62° N. They are populated with about 51,000 people. The capital city, Tórshavn has about 21,000 inhabitants. Currently, the energy supply is given on the electricity side by a mix of fossil fired power stations, hydropower plants and wind farms. The heating sectors are mainly based on oil burners. This is the reason to restructure the energy supply to abandon the use of fossil fuels by 2030. There is an ongoing discussion on the best option to reach this goal. First scenarios had been set up. This paper aims to contribute to this discussion by highlighting the options of the inclusion of PV power at this location.
