Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands, a remote archipelago located halfway between Iceland and Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean, relies on a robust power infrastructure tailored to its unique geography. The islands primarily use Type C and Type F power plugs, which are common across Europe, with a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. Power generation on the Faroe Islands is a mix of renewable sources, with wind and hydroelectric power playing significant roles, supplemented by diesel generators for backup. The grid is known for its excellent reliability, ensuring consistent electricity supply despite the challenging weather conditions common in the region. Efforts are ongoing to further increase renewable energy capacity, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Overall, the Faroe Islands demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and reliable power infrastructure in a remote and environmentally sensitive location.
