Wind power puts Iceland on the renewable energy map
In a recently released report on world wind energy Iceland became the 100th nation to subscribe to this form of renewable energy, and was noted for its commitment to R&D in the sector.
The World Wind Energy Report 2012 added Iceland after they installed two 900 kW turbines in December last year, situated in the Burfell area. For a nation that is 100 per cent powered by clean energy sources, it may sound odd that they are such late-comers to wind energy.
