In 1905 a power plant was set up in Hafnarfjörður, a town which is a suburb of Reykjavík. Reykjavík wanted to copy their success, so they appointed Thor Jenssen to run and build a gas station, Gasstöð Reykjavíkur. Jenssen could not get a loan to finance the project, so a deal was made with Carl Francke to build and run the station, with options for the city to buy him out. Construction starte

Electricity sector in Iceland

Much of electricity in Iceland is generated by hydroelectric power stations. Írafossstöð was built in 1953 and is one of Iceland''s oldest hydroelectric plants still operating, located just south of Þingvallavatn. The electricity sector in Iceland is 99.98% reliant on renewable energy: hydro power, geothermal energy and wind energy.
