Hydroelectric Power Is The Answer.
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%

Sisimut Hydro Dam capacity 15MW at start up.
Sisimiut’s electrical load 7.5MW. Population 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.

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”.

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.
