Research and Development

16.3.2011

Landsvirkjun participates in various research projects every year. The goal of Landsvirkjun's research is to lay solid foundations for the company's future development of renewable energy resources and to maximise operational security for its power system.

Sensitive geothermal areas need to be developed in phases and given time to react to being harnessed.

We do our best to co-operate with stakeholders in areas where developments are planned, to achieve consensus on new projects. We have, from the outset, been more or less continuously involved in the preparation and construction of power projects and have, therefore, strong foundations on which to build for the future.

In addition, we will emphasise more efficient use of the existing power system, by increasing sales and by investing in upgrades of technical equipment and refurbishment of existing power stations.
