Data
Catalogue: https://orkustofnun.is/upplysingar/talnaefni/raforka
OS-2025-1-throun-raforkuframleidslu-a-islandi-1969-2024.xlsx contains the
1969–2024 electricity-generation series by source. It also contains a
guarantees-of-origin table; that describes certificate attribution, not physical
generation.

Caveats
- Publication filenames and prefixes change (
OS, UOS, ROS); discover new
releases from the catalogue rather than assuming a future URL.
- The newest catalogue link can temporarily 404 while the previous release
remains live; retain a working-version fallback.
- The source does not state a general reuse licence. Cite the Authority.
