In 1905 a power plant was set up in Hafnarfjörður, a town which is a suburb of Reykjavík. Reykjavík wanted to copy their success, so they appointed Thor Jenssen to run and build a gas station, Gasstöð Reykjavíkur. Jenssen could not get a loan to finance the project, so a deal was made with Carl Francke to build and run the station, with options for the city to buy him out. Construction starte

IEA – International Energy Agency

The IEA collects, assesses and disseminates energy statistics on supply and demand, compiled into energy balances. In addition, the Energy Data Centre has developed a number of other key energy-related indicators, including energy prices, public RD&D and measures of energy efficiency, with other measures in development.
