Major Power Outage in Greenland Persists for Over 10 Hours Amid -27°F Temperatures
Dec 29, 2024, 12:15 AM
A major power outage has struck Greenland, leaving most of the country, including the capital Nuuk, without electricity. The blackout, which began on December 28, has persisted for over 10 hours amidst dangerously low temperatures, with the windchill reaching -17 degrees Fahrenheit. The national energy company, Nukissiorfiit, reported that all generators at the reserve power plant are affected, and efforts are underway to restore power. The outage has also impacted the Greenland Police's communication network and prevented the national broadcaster KNR from transmitting radio. The situation is particularly severe in Nuuk, home to 20,000 residents, where temperatures have dropped to -27°F, posing life-threatening conditions.
