If the government were to provide seed capital amounting to 5 years’ worth of these subsidies, and the residents of Reyðarfjörður paid 80% of what they currently pay for heating, the break even point for both the open or closed loop system would be reached in 9-10 years.
Ef íslenska ríkið myndi leggja til stofnupphæð sem jafngildir 5 ára niðurgreiðslum og íbúar Reyðarfjarðar greiddu 80% af því sem þeir greiða nú til húshitunar, myndi kostnaðurinn greiðast upp á 9-10 árum.
