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). Efforts are underway by the government to export hydroelectric energy to Europe by transporting it via submarine cables.
To meet growing demands for resources, Iceland is constructing the new Búðarháls hydropower energy plant to feed clean electricity to power-intensive industries on the island. Ístak was hired as the main contractor to build the power plant in the southern part of the Icelandic highlands.
Further development of new major energy projects in Iceland is under way. Plans for the construction of new power stations take into account not only energy issues, but also the impact on nature, regional development, tourism and outdoor activities, employment, and on society at large.
For now, the largest power station in Iceland is Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant. It generates electricity in the north Vatnajökull area, which is needed for aluminum production. Historically, all the hydroelectric power stations are run by Landsvirkjun, the National Power Company of Iceland.
With regard to the Master Plan and increased demand for the competitive green electricity Iceland is able to produce, it is likely we will see numerous new power stations being constructed in the forthcoming years, with an installed power capacity of some hundreds of MW.
In addition, Iceland may offer interesting possibilities for large-scale wind power generation. Further development of new major energy projects in Iceland is under way.
