About Wind power

In light of population growth, urban development, and increased demand for green energy, it is crucial to consider diverse solutions for energy generation and to utilize the opportunities offered by renewable energy sources. Reykjavík Energy's policy is to significantly increase sustainable and diverse energy production in targeted steps, and wind power seems well-suited for this purpose. The current energy system will not support population development and infrastructure growth in the coming decades, nor will it meet the government's policy on energy transition in the fight against the climate crisis. Geothermal and hydropower have long been strong pillars of Reykjavík Energy's energy generation, but they are not inexhaustible. It takes a long time to prepare new geothermal and hydropower options, so it is necessary to look at more solutions. Wind power could relieve the current energy system and enable us to better utilize our resources, with stable and cost-effective electricity production in the long term.

By increasing renewable energy options, we strengthen energy security and promote climate-friendly solutions. Wind power can play a key role in creating a more diverse, secure, and environmentally friendly energy system – for future generations.
