Naalakkersuisut has delayed the planned launch of pre-qualification for the Tasersiaq and Tarsartuup Tasersua hydropower opportunities while it assesses the new Defense and Security Agreement between Greenland, Denmark, and the United States. Naalakkersuisut Press Release
The Government of Greenland had planned to begin the prequalification process in October 2026. It now says tender documents are being updated to reflect the agreement, pushing the process back from its original timetable.
No revised schedule has been issued. The government also did not identify which potential implications it is assessing or which provisions of the agreement require changes to the tender materials.
The delay concerns prequalification rather than a final tender award or development decision. Tasersiaq and Tarsartuup Tasersua are among Greenland’s largest identified hydropower opportunities, with the government previously placing their combined annual generation potential at more than 9,600 GWh.
The department said it will provide a further update once it has a clearer view of the agreement’s implications for the planned process.
