Technical FAQs 4

Does Iceland have a wind farm?

(Landsvirkjun) Landsvirkjun, Iceland’s national power company, has announced an agreement with German wind turbine manufacturer Enercon to procure, install and operate 28 wind turbines for the Búrfellslundur wind farm near Vaðalda in southern Iceland.

Can wind power be used in Iceland?

The 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.

When will Iceland's first utility-scale wind farm be fully operational?

The project began construction in autumn 2024 and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2027. Hörður Arnarson, CEO of Landsvirkjun commented: "Developing Iceland's first utility-scale wind farm carries significant responsibility.

When will Iceland's first wind farm be built?

This development follows the Icelandic government’s recent approval of the country’s first wind farm, marking a significant advancement in Iceland’s renewable energy sector. The first 14 turbines are slated for construction in early 2026, with commissioning expected later that year.
