Icelandic hydroelectric power stations


Over 80% of electricity in Iceland is generated in hydroelectric power stations.

The largest power station by far is Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant (690 MW), which generates electricity in the area north of Vatnajökull for the production of aluminum.

Other projects and stations include:
