In 2016 geothermal energy provided about 65% of primary energy, the share of hydropower was 20%, and the share of fossil fuels (mainly oil products for the transport sector) was 15%. In 2013 Iceland also became a producer of wind energy. . Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. This is the highest share of renewable energy in any national total energy budget. List of available applications The Energy Fund is a competitive fund, and the main evaluation criteria are how much oil (or other fossil fuel) is displaced from usage for a given grant amount - the so-called "price per liter". . We identify a potential for 1,500 GWh/year in electricity savings from improved energy efficiency (~ 8% of electricity consumption in 2022).
