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 , and , mainly by , which is owned by all the municipalities of the Faroe Islands. The are not connected by power lines with continental Europe, and thus the archipelago can. [pdf]
In the Faroe Islands, more than 80% of the power for the main grid was renewable on 50 days in 2022. The municipality-owned company SEV is the main electricity supplier, providing approximately 90% of the total production, with private producers contributing the remaining percentage.
In the Faroe Islands, energy is produced primarily from hydro and wind power, with oil products being the main energy source. Mostly consumed by fishing vessels and sea transport.
Isolated in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands need to be self sufficient in terms of electricity generation as the Faroese electrical grid is not interconnected to neighbouring countries. SEV operates six hydro power plants, three thermal power plants, three wind farms and one solar power plant.
SEV is the main power supplier in the Faroe Islands. We operate on 17 of the 18 islands that constitute the Faroe Islands. Isolated in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Faroe Islands need to be self sufficient in terms of electricity generation as the Faroese electrical grid is not interconnected to neighbouring countries.
The Faroe Islands cannot import or export electricity since they are not connected by power lines with continental Europe. Per capita annual consumption of primary energy in the Faroe Islands was 67 MWh in 2011, almost 60% above the comparable consumption in continental Denmark.
Did you know that the Faroe Islands is one of the world’s leading nations in producing sustainable electricity with over 50% of the nation’s electricity deriving from renewable energy sources? There is no shortage of renewable power in the Faroe Islands, due to the ocean currents and tides of the Northeast Atlantic and an abundance of strong wind.

Aside from large-scale hydro power, Laos has also significant small-scale hydro and solar energy potential. Laos adopted the Renewable Energy Development Strategy in 2011 and set a target of 30% small-scale in the energy production by 2025; to achieve the target Laos could improve renewable energy governance, adopt a feed-in tariff, build an effective regulatory framework and facilitate market entry for foreign investors.

According to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the MRC, if the proposed dams are built, they will generate 15,000 MW of power, which is projected to fill 8% of the regional demand by 2025. Additionally, the SEA reports hydropower in Laos can result in a gross income of $3.8 billion per year.
Coal is below the target at 14% of the share in the National Power Development Strategy (NPDS), but it is good for Lao PDR because it reduces CO emissions. Other sources (solar, wind, and other forms of energy sources) have surpassed their target at 11% due to fuel switching.
Thus, coal demand increased sharply from 2015 onwards. Due to its geographic advantages, including its many rivers, Lao PDR is rich in hydropower resources. According to the Mekong River Commission Study in 1995, Lao PDR’s potential hydropower resources total 26,000 megawatts (MW).
Hydropower has brought in significant foreign exchange reserves to Lao. : 221 Much of the Lao hydropower has been exported to Thailand, which in turn has benefited from Lao hydropower in developing its poorer areas, especially in Thailand's northeast. : 221
