2. Faroe Islands: 100% by 2030
Faroe islands constitute an autonomous insular complex, located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 200 nautical miles north from Scotland and 230 nautical miles southeast from Iceland, with a permanent population of 50.000 people. The R.E.S. penetration (wind and hydrodynamic energy) in the local autonomous grid is already remarkable, exceeding instantly, under favorable conditions, percentages at the range of 90%. The Faroe islanders have recently put a particularly ambitious target: the 100% energy production in the islands from renewable energy sources, regarding electricity, heating and onshore transportation needs.
