Greenland is about to launch a call for tender for the construction and operation of two hydropower plants in the southwestern part of the country. The two plants will have an expected capacity of approx. 600 MW and 200 MW, respectively, to be exploited in the context of a commercial offtake project, for instance a PtX plant, that will be tendered at the same time. The tender has been facilitated, in particular, by increased volumes of melt water from glaciers and is viewed in Greenland as an opportunity in the context of green transition.

In May 2022, plans for the tendering of the two hydropower plants were announced at the World Hydrogen Summit. The two hydropower plants will be located in the southwestern part of Greenland at Tasersiaq and Tarsartuup Tasersua between Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk. In the announcement of the contemplated tender, the areas were presented as Greenland's largest undeveloped hydropower resources.
