OverviewActivitiesHistoryPower plantsManagementSee alsoExternal links

In November 2012 the Faroe Islands became the first place in the world where a virtual power plant (Power Hub)was used to recreate balance in an island power system by decoupling large industrial units in less than a second from the main power system, thereby avoiding blackouts. As of 1 January 2016, 60% of total electricity produced in the Faroe Islands was generated by hydro or wind power, with 65% of the generated electricity before 21 June 2015 coming from re
