Energy
Iceland has abundant energy potential in the form of geothermal energy and hydropower. Energy consumption per capita in Iceland is among the highest in the world. About 90% of all housing in the country is heated with geothermal energy; the remainder being heated mainly with electricity. The majority of the country's electricity (80%) is generated using hydropower; the remainder being based on geothermal power. Only 20 to 25 % of the technically and environmentally feasible hydropower, and only 20% of the conventional geothermal potential available for electricity production in Iceland, have been harnessed.
