Your at the north pole ... its dark all day long (and cold) ... you need some heat and some power
Scott base in Antarctica (NZ's scientific research base) is installing wind turbines and batteries and getting rid of diesel generators.
Yes but the South Pole burns jet fuel. Not much wind and 6 months of darkness.

The hut point peninsula is consistently windy though and the turbines are pretty! https://photos.app.goo.gl/goDVb7KuiKr6soHT6
