Landsvirkjun

Landsvirkjun is the National Power Company of Iceland and operates 18 power stations in Iceland concentrated on five main areas of operation. HYDROPOWER Icelanders are fortunate enough to have an abundance of water. We use this water to generate electricity that drives most of what we do in our modern society. Water is a renewable energy source, meaning that its utilisation does not deplete the resource. Its use is green and clean because it does not release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. GEOTHERMAL Iceland has acquired considerable expertise in geothermal electricity generation that allows us to utilise the resources in a sustainable manner to produce electricity, hot water and other energy and material streams. SUSTAINABILITY Landsvirkjun's role is to maximise the potential yield and value of the renewable resources it has been entrusted with in a sustainable and efficient manner.
