In this work we investigate potential solar feasibility in Greenland using the village of Qaanaaq, Greenland as a case study to demonstrate several optimized energy scenarios. 1.1. Alternative energy in the arctic Both wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) are mature technologies.
Alternative energy in the arctic Both wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) are mature technologies. Despite being mature, use of solar PV in Greenland on a community scale is limited.
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 .

Greenland’s proportion of green energy varies from town to town to settlement. With an agreement on new hydroelectric plants in Qasigiannguit and Aasiaat and the expansion of the existing one in Nuuk, green energy should spread across the Greenlandic geographical map.
Solar power is not widely used in the far north of Greenland. Therefore, there is little comparison for costs of panels, transportation, and installation. In Sarfannguit, Greenland, PV prices were estimated at 2800 USD/kW in 2014 . In the Canadian Arctic, panel price estimates have exceeded 5000 USD/kW in 2019 and 2020 , .
With an agreement on new hydroelectric plants in Qasigiannguit and Aasiaat and the expansion of the existing one in Nuuk, green energy should spread across the Greenlandic geographical map. The political course is set in Greenland, with less importing of oil from abroad and a much larger share of green energy in Greenland.

About 1,400 kilometres south of the North Pole, Qaanaaq was founded in 1953 after the US Air Force gave around 100 Inughuit people living in a town near the newly built Thule Airbase just a few days to pack up and head to Greenland’s far north. Today, many of the town’s approximately 600 residents help with the day-to. . These logistics explain why the cost of fuel is so high in Arctic communities, Stout says. Making electricity from fossil fuels in the United States costs about 14 cents per kilowatt hour, on average. But in northern parts of Alaska, that price jumps to between 50 cents and. . Albert and her students hope to get around these problems by building technologies that Qaanaaq’s carpenter — Oshima’s husband — can. [pdf]

No comprehensive study on Greenland has been found, as existing studies focus on small individual communities. Such studies provide a tailored perspective on decentralised energy systems, considering local climate conditions, energy demand, and quality of local renewable resources.
As presented in Fig. 2, the primary energy mix of Greenland changes notably between 2019 and 2050. In the reference scenario, oil constitutes around 80% of the primary energy consumption, with the rest being supplied mainly by hydropower.
