We operate fourteen hydropower stations, three geothermal power stations and two wind turbines for research purposes in five operating areas in Iceland. In operating power stations, emphasis is placed on a holistic vision, where prudence, reliability and harmony of the operations with environment and society are the guiding principles.
The largest power station in Iceland has a capacity of 240 megawatts (mw). Other major hydroelectric stations are at Hrauneyjarfoss (210 mw) and Sigala (10 mw).
The design of the power plant is such that it is generally controlled remotely from a control center in Svartsengi. Unlike the power plant in Svartsengi, Reykjanesvirkjun is only a power plant consisting of two 50 MW dual-flow turbines with sea-cooled condensers, but such a system was a novelty in Iceland at the time when the power plant was built.
