The Iles du Surèté's primary source of electrical generation is oil which accounts for 61% of all energy production in the nation. Wind energy is the most rapidly growing energy generation sector, now accounting for 34% of the islands' capacity, up from 21% in 2010. Solar power (4%), geothermal (0.7%) and hydroelectricity from the Vlaardingen Dam (0.3%) make up the remainder of electrical production on the islands. | |||
In 2017, the Rhodeve government and the Iles du Surèté Territorial Government enacted the Green Islands Act in order to reduce the islands' consumption of oil for electrical generation purposes. The final goal is to reduce oil generation to no more than 25% by 2040, and no more than 10% by 2050. To accomplish this, a 470 million NSD grant was given to Suretian companies and residents to build wind turbines and solar panels. A further 100 million NSD was set aside for development of wave-based technologies in order to harness the powerful waves of multiple islands. | |||

Transport and infrastructure
The Iles du Surèté is centered around two primary islands , resulting in most road networks in just those locations. There is a single highway, the King Julius Pentogrom Memorial Crossway but more commonly known as Highway 904. This highway links the two major islands of Myann and Nooderhaaks. It starts in the town of Westvale in Nooderhaaks, passes through the major city of New Lelystad on the same island, runs over the Havian Bridge and into the capital of Artwingen. The highway ends at the city of Port Dieren in Myann.
The Havian Bridge is the only bridge between Nooderhaaks and Myann and experiences a average load of over 870,000 cars per year. Most travel between islands is done by ship or small prop planes.
Outside of these two islands, most roads remain unpaved, except for a few notable exceptions, such as the Wallu Wynja Bridgeway, which links the islands of Limburg, Tostall and Groningen, and the Zuru parkway, which circumnavigates the island of Blokzijl; a major tourist destination.
Energy
The Iles du Surèté's primary source of electrical generation is oil which accounts for 61% of all energy production in the nation. Wind energy is the most rapidly growing energy generation sector, now accounting for 34% of the islands' capacity, up from 21% in 2010. Solar power (4%), geothermal (0.7%) and hydroelectricity from the Vlaardingen Dam (0.3%) make up the remainder of electrical production on the islands.
In 2017, the Rhodeve government and the Iles du Surèté Territorial Government enacted the Green Islands Act in order to reduce the islands' consumption of oil for electrical generation purposes. The final goal is to reduce oil generation to no more than 25% by 2040, and no more than 10% by 2050. To accomplish this, a 470 million NSD grant was given to Suretian companies and residents to build wind turbines and solar panels.
