6 FAQs about [Energy safety group Iceland]

What are the indicators of energy security in Iceland?

Measures the equity of the system. These indicators reflect the energy independence of Iceland and, as such, its energy security. Measure the amount of domestic energy generation as primary energy and its share in TPES. Measures import dependence. A high import ratio indicates exposure to supply shocks, price spikes, and other political risks.

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.

Which stakeholders were underrepresented in the Icelandic energy system?

Stakeholder groups that might have been underrepresented are, e.g., public service providers, international organizations, and financial service providers. Fig. 4. Stakeholder map of the Icelandic energy system. Map expands into more detail as indicated by numbers on the right, which signify the number of sub-groups.

Are sdg7 and eisds relevant for Iceland?

Furthermore, some of the indicators in both the EISDs and SDG7 were deemed irrelevant for Iceland. These indicators were not topics of discussions for stakeholders and, thus, not issues for SED in the country. An example of this would be indicators measuring accessibility to modern energy services or clean cooking fuels.

Is the Icelandic energy system a case study?

In this research, the Icelandic energy system is analyzed as a case study. A case study approach allows for an in-depth analysis of a “contemporary phenomenon” within a “real-life context” ( Yin, 2009). In this study, the phenomenon studied is SED within the Icelandic energy system.

What percentage of Iceland's energy is derived from geothermal energy?

In 2020, geothermal energy supplied 70% of primary energy and hydropower 19% (Orkustofnun, 2021a ). Hydropower accounts for 69% of electricity production, while geothermal accounts for 31% ( Orkustofnun, 2021b). The main use of geothermal power is for space heating, which heats 90% of all houses in Iceland (Orkustofnun, 2021c ).
