Unfortunately, conservation efforts in Iceland are not always as idyllic and organised as they may appear. The major reason for that is that the reality of a tourism-driven economy brings with it a strange paradox. It is Iceland''s landscapes that attract visitors. Yet those same visitors pose the greatest threat.
The following page lists all power stations in Iceland. Nearly all of Iceland''s electricity (>99%) is generated from renewables (mainly hydroelectric dams and geothermal). The islands of Grimsey and Flatey rely on diesel as they are not connected to the grid.
Hydro Power Plants. Nearly all electrical energy is produced by renewable energy resources, hydro (75,5%) or geothermal (24,5%). Only in the islands, Grimsey and Flatey, which are not connected to the national grid, diesel generators are used for production of electricity, apart from minor production of electricity in diesel emergency generators.
