The remaining 38 percent came from renewable resources such as wind, water, tidal streams and the sun.

In 2015, 60 percent of the national grid power came from renewable sources. This was the greenest year on record for the Faroes.

This figure has since been on a steady decline, going from 40 percent in 2019 down to 38.7 percent in 2020 and dropping further to 38.1 percent last year.
