Have you chosen your electricity supplier?

How to go about selecting a supplier and other useful advice

Did you receive a message on your phone from your distribution company saying that you need to choose an electricity supplier?

Below you can find the companies that sell electricity in Iceland.

Electricity consumers pay for their usage in two ways

  1. Distribution and transmission fees:
    You pay for the distribution and transmission of electricity. This is a licensed activity, meaning it is not possible to switch distribution company.
  2. Electricity purchase:
    You also pay for the electricity itself, through an electricity supplier. Electricity suppliers operate in a competitive market, and anyone is free to switch supplier easily.
