The Copenhagen Post reported today[1] that the Naalakkersuisut
Government of Greenland supports abolishing daylight saving time,
effective January 1, 2028, so that most of Greenland will remain on
UTC-2 indefinitely after that. The premier Jens-Frederik Nelson
confirmed the intention to issue a new decree to that effect. Although I
don't know the details, my impression is that this will affect
America/Nuuk and America/Scoresbysund but not America/Thule (which uses
US rules, not EU) and America/Danmarkshavn (which does not observe DST).
The practical date for this change is 2028-03-26, which is when
Greenland would otherwise spring forward, so we have plenty of time to
wait for the details in the official decree and install a change to TZDB
well before the practical date.
