4 FAQs about [Iceland distributed energy systems]
What is the energy system like in Iceland?
Unlike most countries in the world the Icelandic energy system is mainly driven by domestic renewable energy, with an over 85 per cent share of renewables in primary energy supply in 2020 (Orkustofnun 2021).
How much electricity does Iceland use?
In 2015, the total electricity consumption in Iceland was 18,798 GWh. Renewable energy provided almost 100% of electricity production, with about 73% coming from hydropower and 27% from geothermal power. Most of the hydropower plants are owned by Landsvirkjun (the National Power Company) which is the main supplier of electricity in Iceland.
Why does Iceland need an electric power plant?
As a result of rapid expansion in Iceland's energy intensive industry, the demand for electricity has increased considerably during the last decade. A licence issued by the National Energy Authority is required to construct and operate an electric power plant.
Are electricity prices regulated in Iceland?
Only transmission and distribution prices are regulated since power generation has been liberalised. The Icelandic power system is, in many ways, unique. It is isolated, small and based on low-cost renewable energy; generation per capita is extremely high, and no functional exchange market exists.
