The challenge of water power close to the edge of the inland ice

The planned Ilulissat water power station is located very close to the edge of the Greenland inland ice, and the water in the proposed reservoir is close to the freezing point. This will introduce a risk for freezing or supercooled water in the headrace tunnel situated in permafrost.
NIRAS has studied this phenomenon in details, and NIRAS will take part in the design group for the coming planning of the project.
