[ 1] In 1984–85, Greenland's energy authority prepared a Greenland's hydroelectricity development program.

Is Greenland a net energy exporter?

Greenland has huge and abundant unexploited hydropower potentials. The energy is stable and environmentally sustainable. Greenland’s enormous untapped hydropower resources exceed our domestic demands many times over, and Greenland has the potential to become a net energy exporter.

Why is Greenland a good source of energy?

The energy is stable and environmentally sustainable. Greenland’s enormous untapped hydropower resources exceed our domestic demands many times over, and Greenland has the potential to become a net energy exporter. Due to global warming the ice sheet increases meltwater, which results in larger reservoir capacities.

When did Greenland start producing electricity?

In 1984–85, Greenland's energy authority prepared a Greenland's hydroelectricity development program. At that time all electricity in Greenland was produced by oil based fuels, but there had been a sharp rise in oil prices in the preceding years.
