  2. Greenland • Hydroelectric Power Is The Answer. • What Was The Question?

  3. Nuuk • In 1993 Greenland Power completed construction of a 45 MW Hydro Dam. • Nuuk’s electrical load in 1993 was 15.5MW. • The Hydro Dam was constructed by Nuuk- Kraft a Norwegian Company specializing in building Hydro dams in the Arctic. • Nuuk-Kraft designed, built and operated the Plant for 15 years. Nukissiorfiit took over in 2008. • The surplus power from the Hydro has been used to displace heating fuels and they are building a Hydrogen Electrolyses Plant. • Total Cost for the Hydro Dam and Transmission Line $200M • Since 1993 the rates in Nuuk have been reduced by 30%

  4. Tasiilaq • Greenland Power installed a 1.2MW Hydro Plant in 2004.

  5. Qorlortorsuaq • Capacity 8MW. Located in southern Greenland. • In service date 2007. • Supplies power to Qaqortoq and Narsaq. • The construction and design was done by Istak, Mannvit and Pihl & Son, Verkis. Istak & Mannvit are Icelandic Companies.

  6. Sisimut • Hydro Dam capacity 15MW at start up. • Sisimiut’s electrical load 7.5MW. • Population 6000. Annual fuel consumption for electricity 6.5M litres. • In-service date 2009. • Istak designed and built the Dam and Transmission Line and will be responsible for operating the Plant for 2 to5 years.

  7. Ilulissat • Greenland Power is building a 22.5MW Hydro Plant 60 KM from Ilulissat. • The Plant is scheduled for an in-service date of Dec. 2013.

  8. Why Hydro Power? • After the first oil crises in the early seventies a decision was made to look for alternatives to being dependent on oil. • Reduction in Greenhouse Gases • Investments in Hydro Power results in a long term economic advantage. • Economist have stated repeatedly “ the addiction to oil will increasingly limit the economic and social options of governments throughout the industrialized world”.

  9. Ikuma 2 • Foster self-reliance – Enable the Nunavut Government to encourage a shift from reliance on imported oil towards local energy sources where possible. • Encourage Environmental Protection – Encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly and renewable power generation technologies and consumer practices. • Assist Domestic Development – Maximize Nunavut involvement in energy development and delivery to encourage employment and entrepreneurial development.
