For several years, Nukissiorfiit has focused on increasing the use of renewable energy. In recent years, these efforts have intensified and broadened. Whereas the primary focus was previously on expanding hydropower, other energy sources such as solar and wind energy are now increasingly included in planning the future energy supply.
Renewable energy in the form of hydropower and heat from waste-to-energy plants accounted for nearly 70% of Nukissiorfiit’s electricity and heat sales in 2022.
Electricity from solar panels and wind turbines still constitutes only a modest share of renewable energy production. However, there is strong interest in establishing small renewable energy installations—both from private individuals and from Nukissiorfiit

Renewable energy, or green energy, is a collective term for energy sources that are unlimited. The more we use renewable energy, the lower we are dependent on imported oil.
The list of renewable energy sources includes:
Greenland is unique, both in size and its magnificent nature. As an employee at Nukissiorfiit, you become part of a broad professional community that spans all of Greenland.
We work locally with utility supply and connecting Greenland. Our work to supply the country with energy is varied and at times challenging. As part of Nukissiorfiit, you take part in an important societal task, where we aim to create a more sustainable future.
