18 Aug 2025 LandsvirkjunIceland: Landsvirkjun fined 1.4 billion ISK for margin squeeze €9.79m
Samkeppniseftirlitið (Icelandic Competition Authority) found that the dominant electricity producer Landsvirkjun, from 2017 to 2021, in many cases bid lower in the tenders of grid operator Landsnet for transmission losses than the price at which it sold wholesale electricity to competitors, so that they could only keep up at a loss (margin squeeze). The authority classified this as an intentional abuse of a dominant position and imposed a fine of 1,400,000,000 ISK; aggravating factors were the long duration and the fact that the conduct increased after Landsvirkjun knew of the investigation.
A dominant company that also supplies its competitors must price its own offers so that these customers can still compete profitably on the downstream market.
