Suðuroy continues to lead the way in terms of sustainable energy production, and October was the island’s best month ever in this respect.

A full 84 percent of the island’s energy production came from renewable sources in October. The Vágsverkið thermal power plant generated the remaining 16 percent, which is an all-time low.

The Vágsverkið thermal power plant in Vágur was out of operation for 22 days in October while Suðuroy’s green energy production reached 100 percent

These impressive figures can partly be put down to favourable wind and water conditions and partly to the new battery storage and synchronous compensator systems in Porkeri, reports national energy provider SEV.

Porkeri’s wind farm produced just over 60 percent of October’s energy, and the ‘í Botni’ hydroelectric power station produced about 23 percent.
