How can we support the new energy policy in Iceland?

Ultimately, this study and the resulting indicators can support the newly proposed energy policy in Iceland, for instance, by monitoring progress towards a sustainable energy future in the country.

Does Iceland have a holistic energy policy?

Aware of the lack of a holistic energy policy, the Icelandic government in 2018 nominated an 18-person committee with representatives from all political parties and four ministries, in addition to three academics (Cabinet of Iceland and Ministry of Industries and Innovation, 2020).

How much energy does Iceland save a year?

The federation of employers in Iceland have assessed that compared to the average energy mix used to heat houses in OECD countries, each household in Iceland saves approximately 5,200 euros per year in heating expenditures (Federation of employers, personal communication).

Which indicators would not be included in Iceland's energy policy?

Indicators reflecting the unique conditions of Iceland, such as subterranean share of the transmission and distribution system and proportion of energy use covered by long-term contracts, would not have been included.

How can we navigate Iceland's energy transition?

ng mechanisms.Overall, the successful navigation of Iceland's energy transition will depend on the coordinated efforts of government, industr , and society. Each stakeholder has a vital role to play in addressing the critical uncertainties and action priorities identified in the 2024 World Energy

Why is energy security important in Iceland?

nt in Iceland. The ability to transmit electricity efficiently and reliably across the country from various remote renewable resources to end users, is vital for maintaining energy security
