Beginning in 2026, Nukissiorfiit is set to intensify its efforts in rolling out the electric vehicle ecosystem, dubbed Nukissalik, with plans to establish public charging infrastructure across hydro-powered cities.
Energy company Nukissiorfiit is committing additional resources to the realm of electric vehicles, planning to install more public charging stations and actively working with businesses and local governments, including Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, to enhance charging accessibility across the regions.
Investments in New Charging Stations
In recent years, Nukissiorfiit has garnered valuable insights into electric vehicle technology and the unique challenges posed by the Arctic climate. The company acknowledged shortcomings when numerous customers reported arriving at non-functional chargers at Brugseni and the community center in Nuuk. Those charging points will soon be upgraded to models specifically designed to endure lower temperatures, having been rigorously tested for their suitability in arctic conditions. “We want to ensure the Nukissalik system expands and operates reliably, making it an attractive option for both residents and businesses,” the energy firm stated.
The Nukissalik Landscape
Nukissiorfiit has crafted a dedicated service called Nukissalik that focuses on electric vehicle charging. This initiative includes a user-friendly app, enabling electric car owners to manage their charging sessions, view invoices, and check the location and availability of charging stations.
Nukissalik is a critical part of Nukissiorfiit’s strategic vision for green transformation, aimed at optimizing energy flow from the anticipated expansion of the Utoqqarmiut Kangerluarsunnguat (Buksefjord plant).
As for the rollout of charging stations, locations are already in place in Qaqortoq, Ilulissat, and Nuuk. Looking ahead, Nukissiorfiit is making significant strides to ensure public charging becomes available in Ilulissat, Narsaq, Sisimiut, and Tasiilaq.
