Hydropower
East Iceland borders on the highland region of Iceland which has been targeted for the next phase in national hydropower development. Regional development and hydroelectricity development strategies envisage locating major power-intensive industry at an East Iceland port, supplied from the nearby highlands.

Future development
Extensive research into hydropower development options has been conducted by Landsvirkjun (the National Power Company, www.landsvirkjun.com) and Orkustofnun (the National Energy Authority, www.orkustofnun.is).
