Each summer, Landsvirkjun (National Power) opens many of its power stations to travellers. From June until the end of August. Every year five stations are open to the public, as well as a Visitor Centre in the Végarður community centre in Fljótsdalur, where the Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Project is introduced.
Interesting exhibitions are held at most power stations, frequently accompanied by such events as concerts on weekends.
Summer is our season!
Groups can generally visit the stations all year round, but must then make contact beforehand to ask whether the group can be received. Enquiries are answered at Tel. +354 515 9000 and landsvirkjun@lv.is.
