In 1965, Iceland established the national power company Landsvirkjun to “optimize the country’s natural energy resources and to encourage foreign investors within power-intensive industries to invest in Iceland.” Bigger hydropower development started in the early 1970s.
Iceland participated actively in the development and establishment of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol and was one of the early supporters and is actively an active user. Icelandic companies have been engaged internationally in the development of hydropower plants of various sizes.
Future energy Pumped hydro provides storage for hours to weeks [22, 23] and is overwhelmingly dominant in terms of both existing storage power capacity and storage energy volume. However, a range of storage technologies are under development .
Bigger hydropower development started in the early 1970s. Today, the country has an installed hydropower power generation capacity of 2,204 MW. This represents around 72% of the whole power generation capacity in Iceland.
The first hydropower plant in Iceland started operation in 1904 in Hafnafjörður. Reykjavík saw its first hydropower plant set up in 1921 and Akureyri in 1922. With these plants, the electricity market in Iceland was created.
With these plants, the electricity market in Iceland was created. In 1965, Iceland established the national power company Landsvirkjun to “optimize the country’s natural energy resources and to encourage foreign investors within power-intensive industries to invest in Iceland.”
