5 FAQs about [Skg energy Falkland Islands]
What is the wind power potential in the Falkland Islands?
The wind power potential in the Falkland Islands is very good. In 2016 the islands generated 19 GWh of electricity. Of this 53 percent was generated by fossil fuels and the remaining 47 percent was generated by wind turbines. As of December 2021, one energy company on the Falkland Islands had already installed in excess of 100 wind turbines.
Does the Falklands need a new wind farm?
But the Falklands feel it is not enough and besides the current wind farm is reaching its renewal date. No wonder then that notice has been given of the planning applications submitted for the Farm Expansion of Sand Bay Wind Farm to include 3 by E70 Enercon wind energy converters and battery storage. FIG and c/o Glenn figure as the applicant.
How many wind turbines are in the Falkland Islands?
As of December 2021, one energy company on the Falkland Islands had already installed in excess of 100 wind turbines. These turbines alone generate 12.5 GWh of electricity per annum. Wind speeds on the islands are 8.5 m/s during summer and 14 m/s during winter.
Could a hydrogen economy change the wind power potential of the Falkland Islands?
The Falkland Islands have an extensive territory, they are sparsely populated and they are on the path of the southern winds, which blow almost constantly.The wind power potential should be enormous. Such potential has never been exploited because they are too isolated, but I was wondering if the hydrogen economy could change that.
Where can I find a plan for the Falkland Islands?
FIG and c/o Glenn figure as the applicant. The plans and details can be viewed at the Planning Office, Secretariat, Stanley and on the Falkland Islands Government Planning & Building Services Facebook page. Anyone wishing to comment on these applications must do so in writing, to the Planning Officer, by 2 February 2024.
