Nuuk is powered mainly by hydroelectricity from the nearby Buksefjord plant, run by Nukissiorfiit, the state utility that supplies all 17 towns and 54 settlements across Greenland. Having digitised its meter fleet more than a decade ago, the utility is now building a live data platform to actually put those readings to use.
