About electricity in Iceland
Iceland is 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets, the standard European setup.
Grid & history
Iceland’s electricity is essentially 100% renewable, about 70% hydropower and 30% geothermal. Cheap green power has attracted aluminium smelting and, more recently, data centres.
Availability
Excellent. Storm-related outages are rare even by Nordic standards.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard. Type C plugs fit Schuko sockets.
Energy mix
Hydropower ~70%, geothermal ~30%.
Practical tips
- A European C/F adapter is all you need.
- For Ring Road trips, a 12V car adapter is more useful than extra wall adapters.
