No, it is not yet finished. It will be finished juli/august this year. SEV now has been given permission to another 9km of watertunnel - this tunnel will be drilled by a TBM.

I don´t know, the project is pretty expensive. It´s called Eiði 2.

I don´t think it´s finished yet.

Er eiði 2 liðugt?

But it will bring water energy up to 55% now is only 45% of all our electrisity.

Rest is diesel plants.

in what stage is it now? is the hydro-power effort a success ?

[turbofritz2]

no that is not done for fun. It´s done to get a water tunnel for water power turbines (electrisity).

They´re trying to use as much of water power as they can in Faroe Isladns.

One of my X-girlfriends told me that the only difference between a boy and a man is how expensive his toys are. She was probably right. Im never gone grove up. When Im 80 Im still gone love fast machines, big explosion, deep diving and skydiving. Cant help it, I always will be a little boy when it comes to having fun!

[turbofritz2]

yes absolutly :p Grown up need bigger /more expensive toys.

[turbofritz2]
