Greenland Energy News Updates — January 2026

Eldur Olafsson of Amaroq: A Rare Moment of Earned Joy

Disclaimer: GreenlandEnergy.com is an independent news and analysis site. We are not affiliated with any company or government entity referenced. This commentary is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment, legal, or financial advice.

Amaroq continues to put out high-quality content that feels real, the kind of footage that lets you see the human side of building something difficult in Greenland.

In a clip from Amaroq, Eldur Ólafsson shares something that anyone who has tried to execute a hard project will instantly recognize:

“When you do something that’s quite hard, it’s very hard to fund, it’s very hard to do everything… you never allow yourself to be happy in the success…”

When the work is heavy, the stakes are high, and the clock never stops, success can feel like a brief checkpoint instead of a moment to celebrate. You move straight from one problem to the next, and the reward gets delayed indefinitely.

But what stood out most to me was the moment after he says it you can actually feel him allow himself a flash of happiness. Not performative. Not exaggerated. Just a real human moment where the weight lifts for a second and the achievement lands.

Greenland does that to people. It’s not an easy environment. Logistics, weather, distance, cost everything gets harder. And that pressure either breaks the plan, or it forges the person carrying it. You don’t fake progress in Greenland. You earn it.

That’s why moments like this matter. They’re reminders that the real story isn’t just the resource, the strategy, or the market narrative. It’s the execution and the people tough enough to keep showing up until it works.

Greenland’s Next Chapter: A Scotsman’s Case for Opportunity, Capital, and Greenland-First Terms

January 10, 2026 – I’m going to say something plainly, because I’ve lived the difference.

A stronger, more direct relationship between Greenland and the United States could be hugely beneficial for the people of Greenland if it’s structured on Greenland’s terms, with safeguards that protect sovereignty, culture, and long-term local prosperity. This is not a call for annexation or loss of sovereignty; it is a case for Greenland first terms and direct access to deep capital, industrial capacity, and long run opportunity.

That’s not a geopolitical slogan. It’s an incentives argument the kind you only fully understand after you’ve lived under two systems and seen what each one rewards.

What my Scotland-to-America experience taught me

I’m from the Highlands of Scotland. Scotland is a proud place with a deep story, but it also carries a modern reality: a large share of life is organized around government programs and public support structures. That can provide stability, but it can also produce a quieter effect over time: people start making choices primarily to avoid losing benefits, rather than to chase opportunity.

Scotland has had multiple chances to vote for independence. Each time, many voters didn’t choose it not necessarily because they lack pride or ambition, but because the fear of losing the known system becomes a powerful anchor. When your life is tightly coupled to a welfare framework, independence stops looking like freedom and starts looking like risk.

I left Scotland and moved to America to work and build.

What opened up to me was staggering: a huge single market, one currency, one primary language in business, and the ability to travel and operate across 50 states without constantly re negotiating my economic reality. The rule was simple: work hard, be creative, keep going. The upside was real. Over 20 years, I achieved things that would have been extremely difficult to achieve back home. And, yes, I’ve made many many mistakes but I got back up and the reward was waiting if I applied the rule again: work hard, be creative, keep going.

That’s not a knock on Scotland. It’s just a recognition of what different systems incentivize.

And it’s why I look at Greenland and think: don’t drift into a model that accidentally trains an entire generation to manage scarcity and protect benefits. Build a model that rewards initiative and ownership. I get excited when I think about Greenlanders flying down to the United States to live and work.

Greenland’s real choice isn’t America vs Europe

This isn’t about flags. Greenland’s choice is structural:

Do you want an economic future where the default is dependency management?
Or do you want an economic future designed for capital formation, skill-building, and ownership?

Europe has strengths: social stability, orderly systems, and strong public institutions. But Europe’s biggest weakness, especially for a frontier economy, is that it often moves at the speed of consensus and risk avoidance.

Greenland is not a typical European region. It’s a frontier economy sitting on strategic geography and high value resources, facing high costs and hard engineering. Frontier economies don’t get built by caution. They get built by focused capital, clear rules, big logistics, and a culture that rewards building.

The United States, for all its flaws, is still the world’s most powerful engine for scaling large projects when the incentives are aligned and the rules are clear.

So the practical question becomes:

Which alignment brings Greenland the fastest path to infrastructure, skills, investment, and world-class partners without compromising Greenland’s control over its own destiny?

What Greenland needs most

Greenland’s constraints are not philosophical. They are physical and logistical:

Infrastructure: ports, roads, housing, power, communications
Human capital: training pipelines for operators, trades, engineers, geologists, project managers
Financing + offtake: long-term buyers and funding structures that can survive commodity cycles
Regulatory clarity: stable permitting, predictable royalties, credible investment screening
Local participation: jobs and equity that translate into lasting prosperity for Greenlanders

A direct U.S. relationship could help unlock these but only if Greenland negotiates from strength and designs the framework intentionally. Big projects don’t run on slogans they run on logistics, permitting clarity, skilled labor, capital discipline, and contracts that hold up over time.

The deal Greenland should demand

If Greenland deepens alignment with U.S. capital and strategic industry, it should not be a come take what you want arrangement. It should be a Greenland first contract with enforceable terms.

Here are five non-negotiables Greenland should hard-wire into any major investment framework:

Local jobs with real training, not token hires
Apprenticeships, operator schools, technical programs, and pathways into management built into project requirements.
Infrastructure that serves communities, not just projects
Ports, roads, power upgrades, and housing must be designed to benefit local life, not only extraction logistics.
Revenue capture that actually lands in Greenland
Royalties and fees are meaningless if they don’t translate into long-term community wealth, services, and reinvestment.
Local equity participation
Greenland should not only collect taxes it should participate in ownership where appropriate, and build institutional capacity over time.
Investment screening with teeth
Greenland has the right to decide what kinds of foreign control threaten security or public order and to intervene when necessary.

This is how you avoid becoming a resource colony. This is how you turn strategic interest into local advantage.

The opportunity Greenland can seize

Done right, Greenland could build a model that looks like this:

Greenland controls the rules
U.S. capital accelerates infrastructure
Greenlanders build skills and ownership
Projects become platforms not one-off extraction cycles

Greenland doesn’t need to become anyone’s “territory” to benefit from a direct relationship with the U.S. It needs an economic architecture that makes it easier for Greenlanders to build lives of independence, competence, and upward mobility.

That’s the point.

Because the real tragedy isn’t foreign influence it’s a slow drift into a system where people stop believing they can build anything big, and start organizing their lives around not losing what they already have.

Greenland Hydropower: Tender Framework Tightens Ahead of 2H 2026 Round

Disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

January 10, 2026 — Greenland’s government has set out the government take framework it intends to use ahead of the forthcoming tender for two of the country’s largest hydropower sites: Tasersiaq and Tarsartuup Tasersua.

In a January 7 announcement, Naalakkersuisut said the model will apply to the hydropower plants only (not the offtaker industry) and will be built around a resource rent fee per kWh paid to Greenland Self Government alongside government participation via preference shares (without a capital injection). Both elements are described as competitive parameters within the tender process.

Naalakkersuisut has previously stated it is working to a timetable for a tender round in the second half of 2026 for these large scale sites, and government channels have also run market dialogue / RFI steps in the lead up to a competitive process.

For the market, the read through is that Greenland is trying to set clearer fiscal terms and participation mechanics before bids are invited an important step for pricing, financing, and execution planning.

ETM Expands U.S. Strategy: Ballard Partners Added as Advisor as Nasdaq Options Evaluated

Disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.

January 9, 2026 – Energy Transition Minerals (ASX: ETM) just took another step toward the United States, this time by hiring Ballard Partners as its U.S. strategic advisor, tasked with navigating public policy and regulatory issues tied to the global rare earth supply chain. listcorp

ETM is building a two lane runway into America capital markets + Washington policy as it evaluates a potential Nasdaq listing with Cohen & Company Capital Markets. listcorp

ETM’s share price reacted strongly on the day, with multiple market outlets highlighting a sharp move higher alongside heavy volume. stockhead

The two pillars of ETM’s U.S. strategy

Cohen & Company Capital Markets – Financial Architect – Evaluate pathways to a U.S. listing (including dual listing or a business combination/SPAC-style route) and broaden access to U.S. capital.
Ballard Partners – Policy & Stakeholder Architect – Help ETM engage U.S. stakeholders and navigate policy/regulatory terrain shaping rare earth supply chains.

Ballard Partners is widely described in U.S. political coverage as well connected in Washington, which can matter for companies positioning themselves inside strategic supply chain narratives. politico

Why this matters for Greenland and Kvanefjeld

From a Greenland lens, the signal is simple: ETM appears to be positioning Kvanefjeld from a disputed project into a strategic Western supply chain asset.

Three things make this push notable:

U.S. incentives are real, and getting bigger
Recent U.S. legislation has materially reshaped parts of the energy and supply chain incentive landscape, with specific funding streams tied to defense/supply chain resiliency that matter for critical minerals. sidley
Capital follows narrative especially on U.S. exchanges
A Nasdaq pathway isn’t only about liquidity; it’s about tapping a capital pool that increasingly has non China supply chain mandates baked into the thesis. mining.com
ETM is building diplomatic bandwidth, not just finance bandwidth
ETM has also added former Danish Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod (and former Danish Ambassador Friis Arne Petersen) to its advisory board another tell that the company is stacking political/strategic credibility alongside market execution. listcorp

The legal reality check

None of this erases the legal overhang. ETM has flagged that the Kvanefjeld matter is due to return to court on January 12, 2026 (per company updates cited by market coverage). listcorp

That makes today’s move even more telling: you don’t hire Washington grade operators if you’re planning to stay local.

ETM is building a fast track into America one lane for Nasdaq capital and one lane for Washington policy gravity. Greenland’s resource story is increasingly being priced not just as geology, but as geopolitics.

Greenland’s Economic Squeeze Raises the Strategic Premium on Power and Minerals

January 6, 2026 – Denmarks Nationalbank’s analysis points to the real bottleneck: capital, timing, and execution

Denmarks Nationalbank published a clear warning for Greenland’s economy: growth is slowing, public finances are tightening, and major planned projects in energy supply and other areas have not yet begun.

In 2026, Greenland’s strategic value isn’t only about resources in the ground. It’s about which projects can actually move from potential to bankable build.

The slowdown: airport construction fades, the next engine must be infrastructure

The analysis points to modest recent growth, citing GDP growth of 0.8% (2024) and 0.2% (2025), with ~0.8% expected in 2026 (citing the Greenland Economic Council).

A key reason: the construction surge tied to airport development is cooling. Nuuk’s airport opened in 2024, and the airports in Ilulissat and Qaqortoq are expected to open in 2026.

As the airport buildout cycle winds down, Greenland needs its next wave of productive investment and power infrastructure is one of the few categories large enough to matter.

Power: hydropower is the near term build, but financing is the story

The Nationalbank analysis highlights concrete hydropower plans:

Expansion of the Buksefjord power plant near Nuuk
A longer run hydropower supply for Aasiaat and Qasigiannguit

The hydropower plant near Nuuk was originally estimated at around DKK 3 billion, but rising prices create uncertainty around total cost and start timing.

Most importantly, it notes an agreement involving a 95% Danish state guarantee for the hydropower plant near Nuuk a clear sign that Greenland’s energy buildout depends as much on capital structure and risk sharing as it does on engineering.

Minerals and REEs: licenses are active, but financing is the choke point

On minerals, the paper’s message is blunt:

The sector is dominated by exploration and feasibility work; there were just under 100 valid licences in 2024.
Several large projects have mining licences, but financing has not been secured, so they have not started.

The analysis also reiterates that Kuannersuit (Kvanefjeldet) cannot be realised as originally intended due to zero tolerance for uranium.

It notes that higher gold prices increase the probability that a gold mine in South Greenland could be reopened, and points to anorthosite extraction at Kangerlussuaq as an example of an active project (opened in 2019).

Energy connection: minerals become a true economic engine only when projects become financeable and when they do, they can become power demand anchors that justify bigger generation and grid investments.

The macro constraint behind everything: public finances are under stress

The analysis highlights pressure on public finances, noting that the public balance for 2025 could show a deficit of up to DKK 400 million.

It also points out that treasury liquidity fell below a rule of thumb level — 10% of operating expenses (~DKK 800 million) — and that credit facilities were used in August–September 2025.

Greenland has big ambitions, but limited fiscal slack. That makes external capital, guarantees, and disciplined project execution even more critical.

Greenland’s strategic premium is rising but the winners will be projects that can clear the bankability bar:

credible cost estimates under inflation pressure
risk sharing / guarantees that reduce the cost of capital
stable policy signals that survive political cycles
demand anchors that justify scale

Hydropower is the near term infrastructure build. Minerals and rare earths are the upside engine if financing closes. And any future petroleum optionality would face the same reality: in Greenland, strategy becomes value only when it becomes financeable and executable.

ETM Taps New York Investment Bank to Explore Nasdaq Path for Kvanefjeld Rare Earths

January 5, 2026 – Energy Transition Minerals (ASX: ETM) says it has appointed Cohen & Company Capital Markets as its exclusive U.S. financial advisor to evaluate potential routes to a Nasdaq listing and broader access to U.S. capital markets. Source ETM

ETM’s mandate for Cohen includes:

Nasdaq listing strategy and execution support
Transaction structuring, including review of alternatives such as dual-listing or a SPAC business combination
Strategic M&A and capital-raising support

ETM highlighted Cohen’s track record in SPAC underwriting and advisory work, citing multiple critical-minerals deals (including combinations involving USA Rare Earth and Critical Metals Corp), plus associated PIPE financings.

ETM also emphasized that this is an exploratory process and noted there is no certainty a transaction or listing will occur.

NASDAQ Pathway

A successful Nasdaq pathway (whether via dual-listing or a transaction) would typically aim to deliver:

Deeper U.S. liquidity and investor access
Greater visibility with North American strategic investors focused on critical minerals supply chains
Stronger alignment with Western secure supply priorities around materials used in energy transition and defense applications

Kvanefjeld dispute: case moving toward merits

On the legal front, ETM says proceedings related to the Kvanefjeld (Kuannersuit) rare earths project have advanced, with the matter proceeding toward substantive consideration in Greenland’s courts.

Venezuela Shock: What It Signals for Global Energy Security and Why Greenland Gets More Valuable

January 3, 2026

Overnight, the global energy map was redrawn not by a discovery of oil, but by a demonstration of force.

On the morning of January 3, President Donald Trump confirmed the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro during Operation Absolute Resolve. Maduro, initially held on the USS Iwo Jima, is now being transported to the U.S. to face narco-terrorism charges, while the energy world braces for what comes next. Reuters

The events in Caracas prove that in 2026, Energy Security is being treated as national security. This shift makes stable, rule of law jurisdictions like Greenland more strategically valuable than ever before.

The Venezuela Paradox: Infrastructure vs. Flow

Early reports from Reuters indicate that Venezuela’s physical oil infrastructure remains undamaged. However, the market isn’t looking at the pipes; it’s looking at the paralysis.

Administrative Freeze: Following a massive December cyberattack and the overnight capture of leadership, PDVSA (Venezuela’s state oil company) is in administrative limbo.
The “DonRoe Doctrine”: The Trump administration has signaled it intends to “run” Venezuela’s transition to secure its oil. While this could eventually lead to a bearish supply glut, the immediate result is total shipping uncertainty.
The Takeaway: Physical resources are worthless without a stable legal and political framework to move them.

Three Reasons Greenland is Moving to the Strategic Center

1. The Friend Shoring of Critical Minerals

As the U.S. moves to secure the Western Hemisphere, Greenland’s rare earth narrative is reaching a fever pitch. Just yesterday, Critical Metals Corp (Tanbreez) confirmed it is finalizing its remaining offtake agreements.

The Milestone: CEO Tony Sage has noted that the company would welcome direct equity investment from Washington.
The Signal: We are moving from a world of “grants” to a world where the U.S. government seeks a seat at the table in Greenlandic mining to bypass unstable global chokepoints.

2. The Rise of the Special Envoy

The recent appointment of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as Special Envoy to Greenland underscores this new era of Energy Statecraft. While Denmark has expressed sovereignty concerns, the U.S. posture is clear: Greenland is an absolute necessity for National Security.

For investors, this means Greenland is no longer just a frontier play it is increasingly aligned with Western security interests, elevating its status as a strategic priority in the region.

3. Arctic Stability as a Premium: Oil, REEs, and Base-load

Volatility in the Caribbean reminds the world why the Arctic is attractive. While Venezuela’s vast reserves are currently trapped behind a security wall, Greenland offers a path to resource independence without the geopolitical flash point risk.

Oil & Gas Optionality: While global markets weigh the Trump-Maduro supply shock, Greenland’s onshore and offshore potential represents a long-term strategic reserve. In a world of Energy Statecraft, having barrels in a rule of law jurisdiction creates a security premium that offsets the technical challenges of Arctic extraction.
The Rare Earths (REE) Safe Haven: Unlike the resource nationalism that has historically plagued South American mining, Greenland’s REE projects (like Tanbreez and Kvanefjeld) offer the West a chance to break the monopoly on critical minerals within a stable, democratic framework.
Clean Base load Potential: Hydropower and green hydrogen projects in Greenland provide a forever asset energy sources that don’t depend on volatile global shipping lanes or the whims of a single regime.
Rule of Law: Unlike the negotiated exits and military raids seen in Caracas, Greenland offers a predictable legal environment. For the decades long timelines required for major oil and REE projects, political durability is the ultimate ROI.

Bottom Line: Venezuela is a reminder that energy isn’t just a commodity; it’s a security asset. When the world gets volatile, the Slow Build in Greenland becomes the most valuable hedge on the map.

Greenland Energy Updates — December 2025

The P-8 Approval and Why Greenland’s Strategic Value Is Rising

Nuuk / Washington — December 30, 2025

The United States has approved a potential $1.8 billion Foreign Military Sale to Denmark for up to three Boeing P-8A maritime patrol aircraft, along with associated systems and support.

On the surface, this is a Denmark defense modernization story. In reality, it’s also a Greenland Energy story because Greenland sits at the center of North Atlantic surveillance, undersea infrastructure protection, and High North logistics. And it’s landing during a period of heightened political tension around Greenland’s strategic future.

What a P-8 actually signals

The P-8 is not a symbolic aircraft. It’s a maritime domain awareness platform designed to track surface and subsurface activity, secure sea lanes, and support intelligence and deterrence in vast ocean spaces.

The Arctic is being treated less like a remote frontier and more like a monitored operating environment.

Greenland’s Energy and Minerals Story

Security investment and economic development often move together in frontier regions. Increased Arctic monitoring tends to bring:

More mapping + measurement: surveillance, sensing, logistics planning, and data collection expand (useful for offshore, ports, and remote infrastructure).
Greater infrastructure attention: airfields, ports, communications, and all weather logistics become higher priority because presence requires supply chains.
More strategic focus on resources: critical minerals and dependable energy sources matter more when governments care about resilience and supply security.

That doesn’t mean militarization equals mining. It means the strategic value of Greenland becomes harder to ignore and when that happens, the pressure increases to build real capacity: jobs, exports, and infrastructure that can stand on its own.

The North Atlantic is tightening

This P-8 move sits inside a larger shift: the North Atlantic and High North are becoming more contested and more monitored, and Greenland is increasingly referenced as pivotal terrain in that story.

For investors, builders, and operators, the signal is straightforward: Greenland’s “strategic premium” is rising as a long term driver of attention, infrastructure, and capital.

Data as Infrastructure: How Greenland is De-Risking the North’s Largest Hydropower Potential

Nuuk, Greenland – December 28, 2025

In the global race for stable, base load renewable energy, data is often the highest barrier to entry. For decades, the immense energy potential of Greenland’s interior remained locked behind the high cost of Arctic field research. That’s changed.

The Government of Greenland’s strategic acquisition and public release of decades of hydrological data from aluminum giant Alcoa has transformed the nation’s energy landscape. By turning proprietary corporate intelligence into a public good, Greenland has effectively shortened the development timeline for some of the world’s most promising green energy sites by nearly half a decade.

The Alcoa Legacy: 50 Years of Precision

Between 2004 and 2016, Alcoa conducted exhaustive studies to support a proposed world scale aluminum smelter. While the smelter project did not move to construction, the legacy of that work a massive dataset covering water flow, discharge, topography, and geotechnics from 1974 to 2021 is now the foundation of Greenland’s new energy economy.

In 2022, the government secured full ownership of this data, releasing it free of charge to prospective investors. This move targets Greenland’s most significant untapped basins: Tasersiaq and Tarsartuup Tasersua.

Moving from “If” to “When”

The release of this data addresses three critical challenges in Arctic infrastructure:

Financial De-Risking: Large scale hydro projects require bankable water-flow data. Without Alcoa’s 50 year time series, new investors would face years of costly monitoring to prove reliability. This data provides the historical certainty required by international lenders and major development banks, including the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). Furthermore, this transparency allows the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) to offer the 18-year repayment terms essential for American firms competing in Greenland’s renewable energy and Transformational Export sectors.
Accelerated Timelines: Typically, a Proof of Concept phase can take five years. By providing the baseline data upfront, the Government has enabled the current tender winners to enter the 2025–2027 PoC phase with a massive head start on engineering and environmental impact assessments.
Climate-Optimized Modeling: Interestingly, the data highlights a unique Greenlandic Advantage. While many regions face hydro scarcity, increased ice melt due to climate change is actually increasing the firm power potential of these basins, with estimates now exceeding 7,000 GWh annually.

A Two-Pronged Strategy for 2026

As we head into the 2026 construction season, the impact of this data driven approach is visible across two sectors:

Domestic Security: NunaGreen is currently processing bids for the DKK 2.5 billion Buksefjord Expansion. This project will triple Nuuk’s capacity to 121.9 MW, using established hydrological baselines to ensure the capital reaches 100% renewable power.
Global Export: The large scale tenders for Tasersiaq are moving toward the Final Construction and Production Plan stage. Investors are no longer just looking at power; they are using the Alcoa data to design Green Hydrogen and Ammonia plants that could fuel the next generation of zero emission shipping.

The transition from Alcoa’s proprietary data to a transparent, competitive tender process represents a shift from a single industry model to a diversified, green industrial future.

Greenland Approves 80 Mile Sale of Kangerluarsuk Zinc-Lead-Silver Project to Amaroq

Dec 26, 2025: The Greenland Government’s approval clears the transfer of the Kangerluarsuk project, described as a high-grade, carbonate hosted zinc-lead-silver opportunity on Greenland’s west coast, within the historic Black Angel mining district.

The structure is straightforward: a small upfront payment now, and a larger performance based kicker later.

Upfront consideration

392,939 Amaroq shares, stated by 80 Mile as equivalent to US$500,000 at the time of announcement.

Contingent consideration

Up to US$1,500,000 (cash or shares) only if a qualifying discovery is defined specifically a JORC or NI 43-101 compliant resource that supports development.

Why 80 Mile sold it

80 Mile described Kangerluarsuk as non-core and positioned the sale as a way to focus on priority Greenland assets including:

Disko-Nuussuaq (nickel-copper-cobalt)
Hydrogen Valley
Jameson Land Basin

In other words: portfolio tightening. Sell a non core exploration asset, recycle attention and capital toward the main bets.

Why Amaroq bought it

Amaroq has framed this acquisition as part of building a “West Greenland hub”, alongside its broader consolidation moves in the Black Angel district. The obvious strategic logic: cluster assets, build operational continuity, and stack exploration targets in a known mineralized belt.

Greenland Takes Bold Step Toward Energy Reliability: 3-Year Utility Tariff Increases Approved

Greenland’s government (Naalakkersuisut) has announced a significant policy shift for the country’s energy sector: a three-year “staircase” of +7% increases on electricity and water tariffs, effective January 1 each year from 2026 to 2028. Key Details from the Official Announcement (December 12, 2025):

Electricity: Rises to 2.00 DKK/kWh in 2026, 2.14 in 2027, 2.29 in 2028.
Water: Rises to 24.30 DKK/m³ in 2026, 26.00 in 2027, 27.82 in 2028.
Projected Revenue: The 2026 increase alone adds ~37 million DKK for maintenance and replacements.

This isn’t about profits—Nukissiorfiit operates on a “self-sustaining” principle. Years of subsidized pricing below production costs created an economic imbalance, leading to deferred maintenance and a growing ~2.4 billion DKK investment backlog across machines, buildings, and supply networks.The result? Increased outage risks in one of the world’s harshest environments. These predictable hikes aim to reverse that: funding urgent repairs, stabilizing supply, and protecting long-term reliability in a grid where hydropower already dominates (~70-80% of electricity).

Greenland’s Energy Future:

Household Impact: For an average home (3,500 kWh electricity + 150 m³ water/year), expect 700 DKK extra in 2026 (60 DKK/month). Support available for those in need via municipalities.
Broader Signal: Amid hydropower expansions (e.g., new plants via NunaGreen/Anori) and Arctic resource interest, this shows fiscal responsibility, making the sector more attractive for partnerships and investment.
Potential for More? The announcement notes tariffs “must necessarily increase over a longer period” to fully address needs. Post-2028 adjustments could follow if required.

Critical Metals Corp Tanbreez Drilling Confirms High-Grade Heavy Rare Earths

Critical Metals Corp. (NASDAQ: CRML) just delivered a major update from its Tanbreez Rare Earth Project in Greenland, confirming the asset’s world-class potential.

The final results from the 2024 drilling program at the Fjord area show consistent and high-quality rare earth mineralization:

Consistent TREO Grades: Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) grades range from 0.39% to 0.54%.
Crucial HREO Content: A significant 25–27% of the TREO content is composed of high-value Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (HREO).
Strategic Metals Found: The deposit also contains strategic metals like Gallium, Hafnium, and Niobium, essential for defense and clean energy technologies.

This update strongly de-risks the Tanbreez project and paves the way for the company to issue a revised Mineral Resource Estimate and advance key mine planning studies. With the global focus on securing a non-Chinese supply chain, Greenland is rapidly becoming a key player in Western mineral independence.

Greenland’s Energy Transition Is Entering An Execution Phase

Greenland’s role in the global energy and critical-minerals landscape is shifting from long-term potential to near term execution.

Recent developments point to a clear change in posture:

Strategic minerals designated by U.S., EU, and NATO frameworks
New project licensing signaling regulatory momentum
Western governments and capital prioritizing non-China supply chains
Growing alignment between energy infrastructure, defense, and industrial policy

Greenland now occupies a strategically relevant position within emerging energy and resource networks linking North America and Europe.

Lumina Advances Allied Critical Minerals Supply Chains from Greenland

Recent developments around Lumina highlight growing alignment between Greenland, the United States, and key allied economies on critical minerals and advanced materials.

Japan Engagement at White Mountain

A high level Japanese delegation including representatives from METI, Japan’s Ministry of Finance, JOGMEC, and trading houses Mitsui and Marubeni recently visited Lumina’s White Mountain project in Greenland. The visit reflects Japan’s active assessment of non-China Arctic supply chains for critical minerals and strategic materials.

Rare Earths Licensing and U.S. EXIM Support

Lumina has secured a new rare earths license, strengthening its position across light rare earth elements as well as gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge) materials facing increasing global supply constraints.

The company also announced a $125 million Letter of Interest from the U.S. Export–Import Bank, supporting downstream development and transatlantic supply-chain integration. Initial exports are targeted for 2027, subject to project timelines and regulatory approvals.

U.S. Processing Footprint

A first U.S. facility is planned at the Ports of Indiana – Jeffersonville, anchoring Greenland sourced materials directly into American industrial and manufacturing ecosystems.

Strategic Materials and Space Applications

Lumina’s anorthosite, a material geologically similar to lunar regolith, has already been supplied to the European Space Agency and is reportedly under discussion with NASA for potential in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) research linked to future lunar missions.

Greenland has granted a 30-year exploitation license for the Amitsoq graphite project in southern Greenland to GreenRoc’s local subsidiary, Greenland Graphite a/s. The deposit is classed as one of the highest-grade graphite resources in the world and is expected to produce around 80,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate per year once in operation.

The project is backed by the European Raw Materials Alliance and has been designated a Strategic Project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act, putting it directly inside Europe’s “secure supply” strategy for battery and defense materials.

This is the third exploitation license issued by Greenland in 2025, and the approval process from application to license took just over a year, unusually fast by global mining standards and a clear signal that the revised Mining Act is now geared toward responsibly accelerating strategic projects.
