Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Hydro and geothermal supply virtually all electricity, most of it to aluminium smelters. Iceland is an isolated grid with no connection to other countries.
Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.
What does “Wholesale market” mean?
Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.
