This study concludes that a fully sustainable energy system for Åland can be achieved by 2030. Expanded roles of solar PV and wind power generation capacities through domestic investment can effectively replace reliance on imported energy carriers, promote sustainable growth, and eliminate the need for fossil fuels in the energy system.

The Impacts of High V2G Participation in a 100% Renewable Åland Energy

A 100% renewable energy (RE) scenario featuring high participation in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services was developed for the Åland islands for 2030 using the EnergyPLAN modelling tool. Hourly data was analysed to determine the roles of various energy storage solutions, notably V2G connections that extended into electric boat batteries. Two weeks of

Åland – with power from nature | Allt om Åland

In combination with innovation, Åland''s aspiration is to become a pioneer in green energy in the Nordic countries. Wind power already accounts for 90% of Ålands electricity production. The move toward even greater production of renewable energy through large-scale solar power farms and offshore wind farms is already well underway.

Smart Energy Åland

Project development company, Flexens, has identified the opportunity to develop and build a full society scale energy system based on renewables on Åland – an island with ideal wind and solar conditions, an ambitious climate and energy strategy as well as a

IoT''s role in the energy transition

A recent report by GlobalData noted the inextricable relationship between climate change and oil supplies: "an ongoing global energy transition is resulting in greater dependence on renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, that are intermittent by nature. All of this has resulted in energy security becoming a serious concern for
