The Iceland Renewable Energy Cluster serves as a vital network, supporting, initiating, and coordinating various organizations across Iceland's comprehensive renewable energy sector. While a significant focus is placed on the geothermal energy sector, the cluster's activities extend to hydropower, wind power, and Power-to-X initiatives, aiming to foster innovation and sustainable development within these key areas.

This organization acts as a primary gateway for accessing information on Iceland's renewable energy landscape and for connecting with suppliers throughout the entire value chain. It facilitates numerous activities, including dedicated projects like the Iceland Geothermal Conference (IGC) and the IREC Investment Fund, alongside various working groups such as the Innovation Group of IREC. Through these efforts, the cluster helps strengthen the industry's capabilities and promotes international collaboration, particularly leveraging Iceland's extensive expertise in geothermal applications.

Iceland holds a prominent global position in geothermal energy, boasting an installed capacity of 755 MW and an impressive record of direct use, with 90% of homes heated by geothermal energy. The cluster highlights advanced cascaded uses in bathing, swimming, greenhouse operations, and fish farming. Furthermore, it supports global capacity building through programs like the UNESCO Geothermal Training Program, contributing to large-scale development in countries like Kenya. The cluster's work also details significant geothermal power plants across Iceland, showcasing the country's commitment to harnessing its indigenous renewable resources.
