Contact UsThe use of wind power for electricity generation in Iceland has hitherto been limited to small wind turbines for off-grid use, and until recently there were no large wind turbines in operation in Iceland. Despite Iceland having a favourable climate for wind power, detailed research into the wind power potential in Iceland is quite recent.
Whilst Iceland is already capable of producing all energy from renewable sources, individual homeowners who live off-grid, or have a rural holiday cabin as is popular in Iceland, are still interested in efficient wind turbine systems to power or heat their homes.
Interest in wind power has increased significantly in the past decade. A few small turbines are operating with a total installed capacity of 2.4 MW. The sector has developed rapidly since erecting the wind turbines. Expectations are that there will be a significant increase in wind farm construction in Iceland in the future.
Each turbine is hand crafted in Iceland from stainless steel, carbon fiber and aircraft grade aluminum. The turbines have a very wide range of energy production, ranging from extremely low winds of less than 5 miles per hour, to very high winds of over 110 miles per hour.
Due to its geographical location and meteorological conditions, Iceland is ideal for wind exploitation. Due to Iceland's geographical location it seems ideal for wind exploitation. Interest in wind power has increased significantly in the past decade. A few small turbines are operating with a total installed capacity of 2.4 MW.
One of the problems is that standard tall wind turbines would quickly spin out of control in these fierce winds, making their current use impractical. The average wind speed on Iceland is 40 miles per hour, with wind speeds of up to 112 miles per hour not uncommon on stormy winter days.
