From idea to reality Based on the findings from a Front End Engineering Design Report from 2005, it is possible to conclude that the technical requirements for a wave energy plant in the Faroe Islands do not pose an obstacle to realizing the project. Likewise, the report shows, how a wave energy plant may be built at Nípan in Vágar as a preferred site and Søltuvík in Sandoy as an alternative site.
A demonstraton plant named Project ALDA has obtained EU grant as well aslocal support and is planned to be in operation from 2011.
The wave motions outside the cliff face push the water into the tunnel-chamber, creating the function of a stamp for the air, which is pressured and pulled through a turbine.
