    It’s not so much about what citizens consume. Per capita energy use is not the same as average household energy use, it’s just the total energy consumed divided by population. So it will include industrial consumption.

    Iceland produces plentiful electrical energy from hydro and geothermal power. Because electricity was so abundant it was very cheap, and because it was so cheap large energy intensive industry developed, such as aluminium production. Industry consumes the vast majority of electricity in Iceland.

      Which makes sense. If industries didn’t have energy, citizens would be missing a bunch of other stuff…

      The rest of your comment does make sense too.
