Landsvirkjun is the largest energy producer in Iceland. It was founded in 1965 by the city of Reykjavík and the state of Iceland. Its general purpose is to produce and provide electricity for heavy industry and to sell electricity to local providers around Iceland. It runs 16 hydroelectric and geothermal power stations as well as one natural gas-fired station.

Landsvirkjun is preparing for the construction of three power plants in the lower section of the Þjórsá river, South Iceland.1
Landsvirkjun, Iceland’s state power utility, has 12 hydro and two geothermal projects. Power from Kárahnjúkar primarily will supply a newly constructed aluminium smelter owned by Alcoa.2

Landsvirkjun processes 75% of all the electricity in Iceland and is the country's biggest electric generator.8
Landsvirkjun’s head of power projects Bjarni Pálsson said in an email that he is confident engineers can develop new turbines that can do just that.9
Alcoa says Landsvirkjun will begin development of a 500-megawatt hydropower facility in eastern Iceland, and Alcoa will complete environmental and engineering studies of the smelter near 10
