Uncovering the electricity efficiency potential in Iceland
We identify a potential for 1,500 GWh/year in electricity savings from improved energy efficiency (~ 8% of electricity consumption in 2022). 24% of this potential is deemed realisable over the next 5 years and a further 53% over the next decade. Lack of detailed data on energy consumption at the end-use level has been an important limiting factor.
