🇫🇴 Electricity Imports of Faroe Islands (the)

Since the start of the millennium, Faroe Islands (the) has decreased its imports of electricity due to increasingly stable domestic markets. In 2021, the region was a net exporter of electricity. Faroe Islands (the) is part of the European transmission system and Europe's internal energy market which allows for easy trade of electrical power across countries in the region.

In order to harmonise and liberalise the EU’s internal energy market, measures have been adopted since 1996 to address market access, transparency and regulation, consumer protection, supporting interconnection, and adequate levels of supply. These measures aim to build a more competitive, customer-centred, flexible and non-discriminatory EU electricity and gas market with market-based supply prices. In so doing, they strengthen and expand the rights of individual customers and energy communities, address energy poverty, clarify the roles and responsibilities of market participants and regulators and address the security of the supply of electricity, gas and oil, as well as the development of trans-European networks for transporting electricity and gas. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting energy crisis, the structure of the EU energy market has been undergoing profound structural changes.
