Qorlortorsuaq is a village in the Nanortalik district, in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland, located at the site of the largest waterfall in the country; the waterfall also goes by the name of Qorlortorsuaq.
[1] The population consists mostly of farmers.
The hydropower plant is part of the focus of the government of Greenland to replace fossil fuelled power plants with renewable energy, and is only one of a number of hydroelectric projects planned for construction.
The plant has made it possible to decommission the three aging diesel generators, so called "bunker fuel generators" made from old ship engines,[3] that previously provided electricity to the towns.
