Is Reykjavik Energy a suitable partner for space solar?

“Reykjavik Energy’s focus on climate technology, along with its experience in carbon storage through Carbfix and partnership with Climeworks, makes it a suitable partner for the initial phase of Space Solar’s project,” said Kjartan Örn Ólafsson, CEO of Transition Labs.

Will space solar power Iceland by 2030?

The pilot project will deliver 30 megawatts of clean energy to Iceland by 2030. Unlike ground-based solar power plants, which depend on sunlight and weather, Space Solar’s technology provides stable power generation.

How many homes will a solar project power in Iceland?

The project, a collaboration between Iceland’s sustainability initiative Transition Labs and UK-based Space Solar, is expected to power 1,500 to 3,000 homes. Solar panels against the cityscape of Reykjavik in Iceland iStock/ powerofforever

Where can solar power be installed in Iceland?

The first publicly connected solar power installation in Iceland is on the remote island of Grímsey, which has a 12 kW photovoltaic system installed in 2022. As of 2025, there are plans to install a solar power system paired with a battery storage system on another off-grid island, Flatey.
