Get StartedIceland's electricity production has increased almost 20-fold in half a century. In 2022, the Nordic country recorded its greatest electricity output, at over 20 terawatt-hours. Hydropower is the main source of electricity generation in Iceland . Loading statistic... Access All Statistics. Starting from You only have access to basic statistics.
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Iceland: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
The higher the country scores in each area, the better their energy mix. Iceland is a bit of a success story when it comes to its energy mix. As little as 40 years ago, the island was a developing country, dependent on fossil fuels to meet its electricity, heating and transport needs.
One of the most important types of transformation for the energy system is the refining of crude oil into oil products, such as the fuels that power automobiles, ships and planes. No data for Iceland for 2022. Another important form of transformation is the generation of electricity.
There may be no need to worry about security of energy sources for Iceland, as according to geologists, there is a lot more potential for the island’s geothermal and hydro energy for years to come. Currently, the country has only used around 20-25% of their available hydropower, and only 20% of their available geothermal energy.
