Abstract

Greenland and Iceland are rich in renewable energy resources, with climate change increasing energy utilization potentials in Greenland especially. The harnessing of hydropower resources for hydropower production requires power stations, for harnessing energy from the flow of water from reservoir through the power station, and on to transmission lines to the electricity grid for distribution around the country. The energy can be distributed in this way to all types of users from energy intensive ones to conventional home users. Also, potentials are in possible sub-sea cable between the countries continuing to Europe, connecting markets.
