Geothermal power in Iceland produces over a quarter of the conutnry’s total electricity<br /><br />Iceland's uniquely active geology has led to natural conditions especially suitable for harnessing geothermal energy. The recent, widespread adoption of geothermal energy as an energy source in Iceland was spawned by a need to stabilize energy prices and increase energy independence, allowing Iceland to increase reliance on geothermal energy for direct applications alongside electricity generation and contributing significantly to diminishing Iceland's carbon footprint.
