wpd in Iceland

Development of sustainable energy, advanced know-how, technological innovation, integration with the territory and local communities: These are the key factors thanks to which wpd, present in Iceland since the beginning of 2022, has also become in Germany and other countries one of the reference companies in the sector of renewable energy, in particular wind power.

In summer 2022, the company wpd Ísland ehf. was established in Reykjavík with the main objective of developing, constructing and operating onshore wind projects in Iceland. Strengthened by the experience of 30 successful years of the wpd Group, wpd Ísland ehf. is developing “green field” projects, together with local communities and Icelandic partners.

Combining on the one hand the financial, managerial and technical skills of wpd and on the other the development of wpd’s Icelandic projects, wpd Ísland ehf. stands as the ideal industrial partner to face the change of the renewable energy sector in Iceland.
