Electricity sector in Iceland
Production and Consumption Iceland''s electricity is produced almost entirely from renewable energy sources: hydroelectric (70%) and geothermal (30%). Less than 0.02% of electricity generated came from fossil fuels (in this case, fuel oil). In 2013 a pilot wind power project was installed by Landsvirkjun, consisting of two 77m high turbines with an output
