Dramatic and ongoing reductions in the cost of solar energy and battery storage combined with copious sunlight for seven months of the year suggest that solar and storage could play an important role in reducing costs and dependence on fossil fuels in Greenland and elsewhere in the far north.
Even without a change in the one-price model, government investment in solar energy for communities around Greenland will lower Nukissiorfiit’s dependence on fossil fuel which would help to reduce the associated large ongoing deficits incurred by Nukissiorfiit . Table 8. Annual cost savings in USD/ Year for Solar–BES–diesel hybrid scenarios.
Greenland's transition from a fossil fuels-based system to a 100% renewable energy system between 2019 and 2050 and its position as a potential e-fuels and e-chemicals production hub for Europe, Japan, and South Korea, has been investigated in this study using the EnergyPLAN model.
Greenland's energy system is very vulnerable to oil prices, as it relies on imported oil. Rich wind resources complementary with solar resources may enable a transition to a sustainable and self-sufficient energy system.
The only two other identified studies on some communities in Greenland have both concluded that integration of renewables offers significant cost savings [47, 51]. Furthermore, lower capex assumptions for solar PV in this study compared to Ref. suggest that even higher benefits may be achieved in a fully renewable system in the future. 5.2.
The lack of electricity transmission between urban settlements in Greenland necessitates a place-based approach to energy production. In keeping with this, this case from Greenland is intentionally laid out differently to the others in the Handbook.
