Faroese government to update energy and climate policy after summer

The Faroese government will revise and expand its energy and climate policy after the summer holiday, according to Eyðdis Hartmann Niclasen, minister of health and energy.

A working group will be tasked with proposals, including measures to ensure low-income households can participate in the energy transition, the minister said. She added that she hopes the updated policy and a timeline for implementation will be presented to the Løgting (Faroese parliament) in the next session.

The question of how to guarantee low-income households a role in the energy transition was raised by Jenis av Rana, a member of parliament for the Centre Party.
