Hydro Power

Iceland's precipitation has an enormous energy potential or up to 220 TWh/yr. Much of it is stored in ice caps and groundwater, and dissipated by evaporation, groundwater flow and glacier flow. Of the primary energy consumption in Iceland, in 2008, 20% was generated from hydropower.

In 2008 Iceland had hydroelectric power stations with a total installed capacity of 1.880 MW, generating 75,5% of the country's electricity production.
