Island facts
The current grid is under-dimensioned and outdated, with no local energy production because of that, and the landscape preservation regulation.
Hven's vision is to mitigate those obstacles, refurbish our grid and produce enough power on the island without altering the landscape. Thus, allowing its community, local economy and enterprises to develop with sustainability and redundancy as a priority.
As part of the 30 for 2030 call the following activities are planned:
The Ferries decarbonisation activity includes a technical feasibility study of electric ferries or other sustainable solutions, as well as a study on the connection to the grid and the alternative fuels supply chain. Additionally, there is a financial feasibility study of the identified solutions for ferries decarbonisation. The CETA activity covers the baseline, vision pillars, and stakeholders, and includes exploring storage, transport, and conversion of vehicles. The RES production activity involves a resource assessment, possibly already included in the CETA and very likely focused on biomass, along with a pre-feasibility study. Lastly, the ownership and business models of RES activity involves a study on ownership and business models of identified viable RES solutions.
Please note the island of Hven has applied jointly for the 30 for 2030 call with Vinön | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu), Holmön | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu) and Visingsö | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu).
