Technical FAQs 4

Why is a strong transmission grid important in Iceland?

al in Iceland. An effective and strong transmission grid is essential for the integration of renewable energy sources, such as from wind, geothermal and hydroelectric power in various locations, which are abund

How does Iceland get its electricity?

This significant achievement is primarily supported by hydropower, contributing more than two-thirds of the total electricity supply from the turquoise waters flowing through the nation's rivers and waterfalls. The remaining close to a third comes from geothermal energy, harnessing the Earth's heat beneath Iceland's volcanic landscape.

Why is Krafla a good power plant in Iceland?

One of the project’s main achievements was to enable the Krafla plant to provide primary frequency control. With these impressive changes, Krafla power station now contributes to grid stability in Iceland and performs more efficiently. Therefore, it is considered one of the best turbines currently in operation in the country.

Is Iceland a good example of green energy?

While fluctuations occur, the overarching trajectory affirms Iceland's steadfast commitment to clean electricity, setting a powerful example for the adoption of green energy resources worldwide. Iceland's electricity mix includes 72% Hydropower, 28% Geothermal and 0% Wind. Low-carbon generation peaked in 2015.
